Abstract (2. Language): 
Introduction: The smoothness of the restorative material’s surfaces have a great importance in the success and clinical longevity of the restorations. Material & Methods: A total of 120 acrylic blocks with a recess of 2mm x 3mm x 3mm dimension were made using a custom made stainless steel template.(Figure 1) Of them, 60 specimens were of (microhybrid composite) and 60 were of (nano composite) . Results & Conclusion : From present study we were concluded Nanofilled composites (Supreme XT) showed better polish ability when compared with microhybrid composites ( Filtex Z-250) with Mylar strip provide the smoothest surface finish for both supreme XT and Filtek Z-250.
