Every dentist aims to polish to a high gloss without damaging the freshly modelled occlusal surface. To achieve this, it is essential to use high-quality polishing rubbers, and I use the plural form intentionally (Fig. 1). In my opinion, single-rubber systems are not capable of achieving an impeccable gloss in a safe manner. It is also important to have patience and be gentle, as polishing requires time and a delicate touch.
