About this document
Dental Abrasive Agents Overview by john mwambu is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Abrasive agents are used in dentistry to shape, contour, finish and polish dental materials. They work by generating stresses that break atomic bonds and remove substrate particles. Key factors that affect abrasion include hardness, shape, size, pressure, speed and lubrication of the abrasive. New advances include air abrasion, CVD diamond coated burs, and single-gel diamond polishing systems. However, an ideal abrasive satisfying all dental material polishing needs has yet to be developed.
