6 Stainless Steel Gauges: 0.1, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.4, & 0.5mm
To maximize patient-comfort and reduce chair-time, the ContacEZ Incremental Thickness Gauge can efficiently, safely, and accurately confirm the amount of interproximal reduction performed for orthodontic treatment.
- Slow Speed Diamond Discs - for large amounts of Interproximal Reduction.
- ContacEZ Snap-On Disc Guard, for ensuring patient's safety when using Diamond Discs.
- Mosquito Burs, for interproximal reduction of anterior teeth.
- Needle Burs, for contouring, reshaping, and smoothing effected teeth.
Preparation
The interproximal surface should be polished using the ContacEZ Gray Final Polishing Strip
(0.05mm, Ultra-Fine Diamond, Single-Sided) until all adjacent proximal
surfaces are smooth in order to accurately verify the final gap
dimension with the ContacEZ Incremental Thickness Gauge.
Method
After performing interproximal stripping with the ContacEZ IPR Strip System, select the proper Gauge prescribed for the treatment, and gently insert the Incremental Thickness Gauge
with a light brush-like movement. Slight tactile resistance will be
felt when the appropriate amount of enamel has been removed. To avoid
false readings, it is very important to not force the gauge into the
space when measuring.
Sterilization
During sterilization, care should be taken to keep the Incremental Thickness Gauge
and dissimilar metals from coming into contact with each other in order
to prevent potential oxidation. Suitable sterilization methods are dry
heat, or steam heat autoclave, or chemiclave.
Special Clinical Tip:
Use the Incremental Thickness Gauge prior to interproximal reduction
to determine the amount of IPR that is required.
