Microscopic evaluation of enamel after debonding: clinical application.
Enamel surfaces were debonded by methods recommended in the literature and found to be problematic. A new method, not previously recommended, involving the use of a green rubber wheel followed by pumice or composite finishing paste was similarly examined and found to come closest to restoring the original, natural enamel surface. A step-by-step clinical procedure was described for highly filled, lightly filled, and unfilled adhesives.
