Over the years, I have tried an overwhelming number of polishing systems. Some were basic and disposable. Others came with a hefty price tag and overpromised results. But when it comes to achieving a true enamel like shine on composite restorations, the one polishing system that consistently delivers is the PLC Composite Polishing Kit from GlobalBurs.
This is not your typical polishing set. It is a carefully designed, two step system specifically created for composite materials. Whether you are finishing a Class Four anterior restoration or polishing a posterior composite filling, this kit gives you precision control and predictable results.
Why Composite Polishing Is More Important Than You Think
Many clinicians overlook polishing, treating it as the final optional step. But the truth is, polishing has a direct impact on function, longevity and aesthetics.
A rough composite surface can collect plaque, stain faster, and even irritate soft tissues. A properly polished composite not only looks like natural enamel but also helps reduce biofilm buildup, promotes patient comfort, and strengthens your clinical reputation.
In short, a polished finish is not just cosmetic. It is clinical.
Inside the PLC Composite Polishing Kit
The PLC kit is thoughtfully organized for simplicity and effectiveness. It follows a true two step polishing system, which separates the smoothing phase from the gloss phase. Each tool is optimized for composite materials and shaped for versatility across multiple types of restorations.
Step One: Silk Finish Using Light Yellow Polishers
This first step uses medium grit polishers designed to eliminate surface roughness and micro scratches left after contouring. The polishers are made with a hard elastic polymer that keeps their shape, providing uniform pressure and precise smoothing.
You receive the following shapes, all color coded in light yellow:
- Disc with ten millimeter diameter
- Cone with five millimeter diameter and ten millimeter length
- Cup with six point five millimeter diameter and nine point five millimeter length
Recommended speed for this step is between seven thousand and ten thousand revolutions per minute. Light pressure with a sweeping motion will yield the best results.
Step Two: Hi Gloss Finish Using Dark Yellow Polishers
The second step uses fine grit polishers to bring out that final high gloss. This stage gives your restoration the shine and translucency patients associate with natural teeth.
The polishers come in the same shapes as the first step and are color coded in dark yellow. No paste is needed. These tools are built to deliver maximum gloss without any additional materials.
Both steps can be used under water spray to reduce heat and improve patient comfort.
Autoclavable and Organized for Real Clinical Efficiency
The PLC polishers are mounted on stainless steel right angle shanks and are completely autoclavable up to one hundred thirty five degrees Celsius. That makes them safe for multiple uses without compromising performance.
The kit includes a sterilizable bur block which helps you keep your tools organized between cases. In a busy practice, this small detail makes a big difference in daily efficiency.
My Clinical Case Example
Let me walk you through a real case where the PLC kit made a visible difference.
A patient presented with a chipped incisal edge on her upper central incisor. I used a multi layer composite technique to rebuild the tooth. The anatomical form was spot on, but the key to success was the polish.
I started with the light yellow disc from the PLC kit to smooth the facial surface. Then I switched to the dark yellow cup to bring out the gloss. I used slow steady strokes at around nine thousand revolutions per minute.
The result was incredible. The finished restoration blended perfectly with the natural enamel. The patient asked, “Which one was the real tooth again?” That is the level of finish we should all aim for.
