Interventions
This is a two-arm randomized clinical trial that followed a split-mouth design and blind study. One hemiarch (right or left) was polished with Technique 1 (aluminum oxide discs) and the other hemiarch

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: To surface roughness was expected a smoother surface when polishing with the microabrasive product.;Found outcome 1: It was expected to find greater surface irregularity when polishing with the Sof-Lex product. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 2: In the surface roughness analysis, statistical equality was observed between the techniques used, within each analysis period, as well as at all times.;Found outcome 2: It was expected that there would be no cases of sensitivity for any of the techniques.;Expected outcome 3: No patient presented dental sensitivity in both technique tested, at all times analyzed.;Found outcome 3: To morphology analysis, within each analysis period, significant equality was found only at baseline. In the other times, statistically higher averages were observed for the Sof-Lex material, with greater surface irregularity.;Expected outcome 4: It was expected that no statistical differences would occur in the luminosity analysis.;Found outcome 4: To lightness analysis there was statistical equality between the materials used, within each analysis period and at all times analyzed.;Expected outcome 5: It was expected to find greater surface texture when polishing with the Sof-Lex product.;Found outcome 5: To texture analysis, within each analysis period, also a significant equality was found only at baseline. In the other times, statistically higher averages were observed for the Sof-Lex material, with greater surface irregularity. | — |
