  1. Rough surfaces make the restoration look more natural in the mouth
  2. A rough surface texture improves the restoration's adhesion to saliva
  3. Smooth polished surfaces resist plaque and staining, lowering caries risk
  4. Smooth surfaces are the ones able to bond chemically with the surrounding enamel
Show answer and explanation
