From recontouring and clear aligner treatments to common restorative procedures—and everything in between—these single-patient-use IPR strips are quick, easy, and precise
In his busy Boca Raton, FL, dental office, seldom a day goes by where Stephen Rosenberg, DMD, doesn’t reach for his NeoDiamond IPR Strips. In fact, he often relies on them multiple times a day.
Minimally invasive and highly flexible, NeoDiamond IPR Strips easily adjust in hard-to-reach interproximal reduction areas, hugging the contours of the natural tooth anatomy and expertly removing small amounts of enamel for an exceptional surface finish—even in tight areas of the oral cavity.
Additionally, the strips can tackle difficult spacing issues that commonly arise with clear aligner treatments and other orthodontic cases.
Strips Make ‘Quick Work’
“I use these IPR Strips all day,” Dr. Rosenberg shared, “to finish composite filling margins, remove resin cement from veneer and onlay interproximal margins, and adjust interproximal contacts. They make quick work of interproximal reduction for aligner cases, and they’re particularly sharp and cut very well. I appreciate their effectiveness and durability, and I also like that they are quite thin, which makes it easier to get in between teeth.”
Available solid or perforated, and in a variety of widths and grit types, including a saw blade, the stainless-steel, single-patient-use NeoDiamond IPR Strips are exceptionally easy to insert.
Variety of Grits
“I use the narrow, perforated strips for restorative margin finishing because they fi t nicely below the contact area and allow me to access the restorative margin,” Dr. Rosenberg said. “The variety of grits allows me to quickly remove excess resin and carefully polish delicate margins.”
He uses the wider-width strips for interproximal reduction, particularly during clear aligner treatments. “They fi t the job perfectly and don’t slip under the contact area, which sometimes happens with some narrower strips," he said.
And the saw blade? “The saw blade strip cuts well and is very resistant to wrinkling or folding.”
Diamond-Like Efficiency
Each strip is coated on 1 or both sides with the same high-quality diamond grit that’s found on Microcopy’s award-winning NeoDiamond burs.
“The double-sided strips quickly open a contact area, and the single-sided strips let reduction occur without damaging adjacent teeth or restorations,” Dr. Rosenberg added. “Having both types of strips al-lows for more specific directionality when performing IPR and can increase the efficiency of the task.”
