Currently, we are aware that there is excellent tissue response to highly polished zirconia surfaces and we are leaving tissue surface of Zr restorations on high polish without glaze to hope that sulcus forms hemidesmosomes like structures to restoration surfaces.
Question: would polishing help with tissue response? Other than helping abutments look good.
Recently, it has been noticed that Neobiotech TiN surfaces exhibit high shine without delamination or color changes during polishing (unlike certain famous European brand that changes color during polishing)
Polished and unpolished abutments comparison. Care has been taken not to polish connection surfaces.
