Ivoclar OptraGloss is a one polishing system for composite and cermaic restorations. This universal polishing system is for extraoral and in traoral use. It's suitable for the high-gloss polishing dental restorations made of composite resin and ceramics ^{[1, 2]}.

OptraGloss consists of a dark-blue diamond polisher for pre-polishing and a light-blue diamond polisher for high-gloss polishing. For the one-step polishing of composite resin fillings, only the high-gloss polisher is required. The polishers are available in the shapes “Cup”, “Flame”, “Lens” and now also “Spiral Wheel” (only as high-gloss polisher) ^{[2, 3]}.

Advantages:

• Due to a high diamond content of up to 70%wt, excellent polishing results are ensured ^{[2, 3]}
