They felt the final polish provided by the rubber wheels was very good. They also stated that pumicing and polishing was not needed when finishing posterior temporary restorations. However, the evaluators pumiced and polished anterior temporary restorations after using the rubber wheels to eliminate ripples and achieve a high polish.
