Description
Fundamental Function:
- Interproximal reduction contra angel handpiece is the removal of small amounts of outer enamel tooth surface between two adjacent teeth. It is a means to acquire additional space to create ideal tooth alignment.
- Alternative names include: slenderizing, stripping, enamel reduction, and reproximation.
Inter – proximal Strip Kit :
- Creates space to improve tooth alignment
- Helps to improve the bite/occlusion
- Can increase the stability of the teeth, so they will retain their position long term
- Can reduce “black triangles” , which is created by the absence of gingival papilla between teeth and gives the appearance of a dark space or hole.
INDICATIONS :
- In cases of Crowding / relapse of crowding
- In malocclusion cases where extraction is not mandatory
- To correct black triangles in between the teeth
- In cases when relapses have taken place, stripping is advisable to allow realignment without labial tipping of anterior teeth into unstable position
- IPR is used for cosmetic re-contouring, most commonly in reshaping canines to mimic lateral incisors
Advantages of IPR :
- Decreased treatment time
- Prevention of interdental gingival retraction.
- Help to acquire additional space to create ideal tooth alignment.
