How to Choose the Right IPR Strip System for Your Case
- Diamond Grit Selection — Fine, medium, and coarse diamond grit strips remove enamel at different rates per pass; coarser grit is used for the initial reduction pass and finer grit for final contour refinement.
- Single-Sided vs Double-Sided Coating — Single-sided diamond strips protect the adjacent tooth surface during an initial, directional pass, while double-sided strips allow efficient bilateral reduction of both contact surfaces in one motion.
- Manual Handle vs Contra-Angle Mounting — A contra-angle-mounted strip (e.g. Matt Ortho HD) is driven by a handpiece for faster, more consistent oscillating reduction, while a manual handle gives the clinician direct tactile control for smaller or more precise adjustments.
- Strip Width and Thickness — Thinner strips access tight, pre-treatment contacts more easily, while wider strips are used once initial space has been created to refine broader interproximal surfaces.
- Safe Enamel Removal Limit — Orthodontic literature generally supports removing no more than approximately 0.5mm of enamel per contact per arch, distributed across multiple visits rather than in a single aggressive pass.
- Post-IPR Finishing — Polishing and topical fluoride application after stripping smooths the reduced surface and reduces the risk of increased demineralisation or plaque retention at the treated contact.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between single-sided and double-sided diamond stripping strips?
What is the difference between single-sided and double-sided diamond stripping strips?
Single-sided strips carry diamond abrasive on one face only, protecting the adjacent tooth surface during a directional first pass. Double-sided strips are coated on both faces, allowing both contact surfaces of the gap to be reduced simultaneously for faster, more efficient stripping once the initial pass is complete.
How much enamel can safely be removed during interproximal reduction?
How much enamel can safely be removed during interproximal reduction?
Most orthodontic protocols limit total interproximal enamel removal to approximately 0.5mm per contact per arch, distributed across several visits rather than removed in a single session, to avoid weakening enamel or increasing sensitivity.
When should a mechanised contra-angle stripping system be used instead of a manual handle?
When should a mechanised contra-angle stripping system be used instead of a manual handle?
A contra-angle-mounted strip is preferred for faster, more consistent reduction across multiple contacts in a single appointment, since the handpiece drives a controlled oscillating motion. A manual handle gives more direct tactile feedback and is often preferred for fine contouring or very tight initial contacts.
Should teeth be polished or given fluoride after interproximal stripping?
Should teeth be polished or given fluoride after interproximal stripping?
Yes. Polishing the stripped surface smooths any residual roughness from the abrasive strip, and a topical fluoride application afterward helps reduce sensitivity and lowers the risk of increased demineralisation at the newly exposed interproximal enamel.
