“…Modifications have been made to the inorganic fillers of resin composites in order to achieve better wear resistance and finishing/polishing features (Lu, Lee, Oguri, & Powers, ). The maintenance of a low surface roughness is an important factor related to surface gloss retention when composites are submitted to toothbrushing (O'Neill et al, ; Shimokawa et al, ). Therefore, surface roughness can influence staining, discoloration, and overall esthetics (Furuse, Gordon, Rodrigues, Silikas, & Watts, ), as well as biofilm accumulation (Cazzaniga, Ottobelli, Ionescu, Garcia‐Godoy, & Brambilla, ; Sturz, Faber, Scheer, Rothamel, & Neugebauer, ), and surface wear (Kakuta, Wonglamsam, Goto, & Ogura, ) of composite fillings.…”
