Finishing of MGC Dicor material.
The occlusal surfaces of inlays and onlays milled by the CEREC system are essentially flat, and surface morphology must be produced with rotary instruments. Six methods of finishing a machinable glass-ceramic material (Dicor MGC) were investigated using laser specular reflectance to assess the relative surface smoothness. The results indicated that all the methods produced a similarly smooth surface.
