Interproximal reduction in the molar/premolar region: the new approach.

Abstract

Interproximal reduction in molar and premolar region is discussed and the questions of the amount of enamel that can be removed, the effect of fluoride on the altered tooth surface, the periodontal considerations and the effect on pulp tissue of cutting enamel are addressed. Moreover a fine diamond bur suitable for air-rotor stripping of posterior interproximal enamel is also described.
