It is commonly used to improve how a restoration adapts to the tooth and how smooth its surface feels. burnishing is often discussed with amalgam and gold restorations, metal margins, and matrix bands used during fillings. In some cases, similar \u201csurface smoothing\u201d steps are also used with resin-based materials before final finishing and polishing."}
