An Overview on Interproximal EnamelReduction
Journal Title: Dentistry – Open Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Ever since its first introduction seven decades ago, there has been continuous advancement of the concept and technique of Interproximal enamel reduction (IPR). It’s demonstrated that with correct case selection and clinical performance, IPR is safe and effective for alleviating crowding, improving dental and gingival aesthetics as well as facilitating post-treatment stability. The fulfilment of treatment outcomes depends on careful pre-treatment examination and planning, appropriate clinical procedures and effective post-treatment protection. This review aims to provide a general introduction to IPR in terms of its history background, risks and benefits and clinical performance.
