The ContacEZ® IPR Strip System is a safe and innovative interproximal reduction system that makes interproximal enamel stripping efficient and accurate without creating sharp corners or subgingival ledges. Unlike straight strips or discs, the ContacEZ IPR flexible diamond strips will conform along the natural contours and curve to create rounded, natural contours on the proximal surfaces of the teeth to prevent sharp corners and maximize patient comfort and safety.
ContacEZ IPR Strips are designed for use with Invisalign®, ClearCorrect, eCligner, Six Month Smiles®, and other orthodontic treatments.
Other features and benefits include:
- Built-in flexibility
- Will not cut lips and gums
- Superior grip and handling
- Single-handed, ergonomic design
- Autoclavable and reusable
-
Hold the strip with your thumb and forefinger, insert it into the interproximal space, and gently pass back and forth buccolingually until the strip is passive. Do not use vertical force. Start with the thinnest diamond strip, and repeat with thicker strips until you have reduced (stripped) the correct amount of enamel according to the treatment plan.
-
To ensure accurate measurements, polish the proximal surface using the ContacEZ Gray Final Polishing Strip.
-
Verify reduction achieved using the ContacEZ Incremental Thickness Gauge.
-
Pediatric dentists can use ContacEZ IPR Strips for the serial proximal reduction of primary molars.

Q: Do you have a solution to help initiate IPR if the contact is too tight?
A: If the contact is too tight, use the Yellow IPR Starter to initiate IPR. The Yellow Starter is ultra-thin and is able to get into any proximal contact.
Q: How many times can you sterilize and reuse a strip?
A: For maximum efficiency and functionality, ContacEZ recommends using each strip only 3-5 times before disposal. Depending on your particular usage style, you may be able to use the strips more or less than the recommendation. You can, then, dispose of the strip with normal waste products.
