• Success in any restorative dental treatment, as well as compliance with aesthetic standards. The objective is to evaluate the degree of residue accumulation from polishing systems on different types of composite resins. The methodology used is characterized by being comparative and experimental in nature, and covers a total of forty resin samples that have been systematically divided into four different groups for analysis. The data generated from the experimentation were meticulously analyzed using the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test, with the significance level set at P < 0.05 to ensure the reliability of the results. Results revealed that the group using 3M™ Filtek™ Z350 XT Resin combined with Nsk Composite Polishing Kits showed the highest levels of residual residue left on the resin surfaces after polishing. In contrast, the group using Neofil's nanohybrid composite KERR resin in conjunction with the Alfred Becht GmbH polishing system demonstrated the most effective performance, leaving the least amount of residue on the treated surfaces. The application of Neofil nanohybrid composite KERR resin in combination with the Alfred Becht GmbH polishing system may represent a sensible and rational choice to achieve optimal finishing results on tooth surfaces, thereby improving both the aesthetic appeal and functional longevity of the teeth. restorative treatments
