Waldent Orthodontic Inter-Proximal Reduction (IPR) Kit
The Orthodontic Interproximal Stripping Kit is expertly crafted to facilitate interproximal reduction (IPR) during orthodontic treatments.
Features:
- Specially designed for slow-speed handpieces.
- Available in various abrasive strip options tailored for specific needs.
- Interproximal strip gauge ensures precise enamel reduction with labeled dimensions.
- Offered in multiple sizes to suit diverse requirements.
Benefits of the Interproximal Strip Kit:
- Creates space to improve alignment and bite (occlusion).
- Enhances post-treatment stability, reducing the likelihood of relapses.
- Eliminates "black triangles" caused by missing gingival papilla, improving aesthetics.
- Offers multiple methods for enamel reduction:
- Air rotor stripping using fine tungsten-carbide or diamond burs.
- Diamond-coated stripping disks.
- Hand-held or motor-driven abrasive strips.
Indications:
The kit is suitable for use in:
- Cases of crowding or relapse of crowding.
- Non-extraction malocclusion cases.
- Correcting black triangles between teeth.
- Cases requiring realignment after relapse without labial tipping.
- Cosmetic recontouring, such as reshaping canines to mimic lateral incisors.
Advantages of IPR:
- Shortens treatment time.
- Prevents interdental gingival retraction.
- Creates additional space for ideal tooth alignment.

- To begin with, rotated teeth should be aligned prior to reduction if possible to arrange the contact points in a more favorable position. It is optional to separate the teeth 3-4 days before IPR.
- Coil spring or separators can be used to open space, improving visual and mechanical access and depressing dental papillae to reduce trauma (with separators)
- This step is often done when the teeth are too rotated and for reduction to be performed prior to alignment.
- Space opened by coil spring or separator should be measured before reduction to avoid overstripping. Interdental papillae should be protected with thin brass or steel indicator wire.
- In the process of IPR, an ultra-fine diamond Strip should be placed in the inter-dental space at first followed by reducing mesiodistal widths to the desired dimension.
- Subsequently, the strip should be inserted below the contact point and swept occlusally.
- It is suggested that measurement tools be applied to ensure adequate enamel reduction is performed as planned previously. It is also important to ensure that the contact point remains 4.5-5 mm away from the bone crest.
- However, if it is too close, the size of col will become larger, leading to increased periodontalpocket
