What is the main result of effective coronal polishing?

Effective coronal polishing primarily results in improved aesthetics and a reduction of plaque on the teeth. During the coronal polishing process, the polishing agents and techniques used remove extrinsic stains and biofilm accumulation from the tooth surfaces. This enhances the visual appearance of the teeth, making them look cleaner and brighter, thus improving a patient's overall aesthetic smile.

Moreover, the reduction of plaque is significant because it helps to prevent potential oral health issues such as gingivitis and tooth decay. By minimizing plaque, coronal polishing plays a role in maintaining good oral hygiene. While other options, such as tooth whitening and enamel strength, may be perceived benefits, they are not the primary results of coronal polishing. Additionally, coronal polishing may not directly address tooth sensitivity as a primary outcome; therefore, the focus remains on the improved aesthetics and reduction of plaque.
