Complications of interproximal enamel reduction are hypersensitivity , irreversible damage of dental pulp , increased formation of plaque , the risk of caries in the stripped enamel areas and periodontal diseases .
CONCLUSION Interproximal enamel reduction is an important part of orthodontic treatment for gaining space in the dental arch , and for the correction of the Bolton index discrepancy
OBJECTIVE Interproximal enamel reduction is a part of orthodontic treatment for gaining a modest amount of space in the treatment of crowding .
Today interproximal enamel reduction has become a viable alternative to the extraction of permanent teeth , and helps to adjust the Bolton Index discrepancy .
The aim of the study is to evaluate various interproximal enamel reduction techniques , its indications , contraindications and complications presented in recent scientific studies .
Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of enamel after various post-stripping polishing methods: an in vitro study.
AIM The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ultramorphology and surface roughness of permanent tooth enamel after various post-stripping polishing methods . METHODS Sixty extracted , permanent lower incisors were r and omly assigned to two groups ( Group A and Group B ) . Group A was morphologically assessed by a scanning electron microscopy ( SEM ) and Group B was assessed by a stylus profilometer which applied a surface roughness test . Each group was divided into five subgroups of six incisors . Four of the subgroups were subjected to interpoximal enamel reduction , followed by various polishing methods ; the fifth subgroup served as a control . The polishing methods comprised ; Subgroup 1 , diamond disk followed by a fine Sof-lex disc ; Subgroup 2 , diamond disk and fine diamond bur ; Subgroup 3 , diamond disk and fine tungsten carbide bur ; Subgroup 4 , diamond disk and chemical stripping using 37 % orthophosphoric acid in conjunction with a fine 3 M finishing strip and Subgroup 5 ( control ) , no stripping nor polishing . Qualitative ( scanning electron microscopy ) and quantitative ( surface roughness test ) assessment s were performed . Surface roughness values ( Ra ) for permanent enamel were evaluated using the Welch analysis of variance ( ANOVA ) . RESULTS Subgroup 1 ( diamond disk and fine Sof-lex disc ) produced the smoothest enamel surface and Subgroup 4 ( chemical stripping ) produced the roughest enamel surface . CONCLUSIONS All proximal stripping and polishing methods significantly roughened the enamel surfaces . The best results were obtained when the stripped enamel surfaces were polished and finished with fine Sof-lex discs
