Simplifying Accurate Evaluation: Adjustment of Proximal Contacts

The ContacEZ Restorative Strip System includes five precision strips designed to streamline your restorative procedures. Here's an overview of each strip and its specific use:

1. Adjust Proximal Contact

Black Diamond Dental Strip – Proximal Contact Adjuster (Fine Diamond, Single-Sided, 0.075 mm) Use this strip before the definitive cementation of crowns, inlays/onlays, and veneers. It helps adjust proximal contacts and restore interproximal relief by eliminating excess pressure between the indirect restoration and adjacent teeth, without opening the contact. It is also ideal for contouring the proximal surfaces of composite fillings.
Orange Serrated Diamond Strip – Proximal Contact Adjuster with Sawtooth (Extra-Fine Diamond, Single-Sided, Double-Serrated, 0.07 mm) Choose this strip when contacts are too tight for the Black Diamond Strip to access the interproximal space. The serrated edge helps separate and penetrate tight contacts, enabling effective proximal contact adjustment. For cleaning excess cement from the interproximal space, use the White or Blue Serrated Strips.

2. Clean Out Trapped Cement

White Serrated Strip – Interproximal Cement Cleaner (No Diamond, Double-Serrated, 0.05 mm) This ultra-thin, serrated strip is designed to safely remove excess cement trapped in the interproximal space after cementation, without damaging the surrounding tooth structure.
Blue Serrated Strip – Heavy-Duty Dental Saw (No Diamond, Double-Serrated, 0.07 mm) Ideal for more aggressive cutting and cleaning in the interproximal space, the Blue Serrated Strip effectively removes excess resin cement. It is also great for separating fused contacts between multiple veneers after light-curing.

3. Polish to a Natural Finish

Grey Final Polishing Strip – Proximal Surface Polisher (Extra-Fine Diamond, Single-Sided, 0.065 mm) Use this strip to polish proximal contact surfaces, restoring a natural finish in one step. It also ensures interproximal relief after definitive cementation.

This versatile system simplifies the restorative process, offering precision, ease of use, and excellent results for every procedure.

The design of your serrated instrument is very clever! This design permits expedient cleansing of bonded contacts with an easy to hold, easy to control design. Dr. David D. Janes, Woodstock, IL

Great product. Brasseler has a similar product, but nowhere near ContacEZ! Dr. Anthony J. Romanazzi, Glens Falls NY

I love your strips; I will never stop using them! Dr. Jessica Saepoff, Issaquah, WA

It is convenient for orthodontists to create space. ContacEZ is easy to use because the space between [the handle and the strip] is easy to look through. Dr. Susan Friedman, New York, NY

I love your product and use it daily and tell all my friends about it! Dr. Alex Shvartsman, Start of the Art Comfort Dentistry, Smithtown, NY

This is my favorite product ever! I wish I'd thought of it! We use it every single day! Dr. April L. Ziegele, Sumner, WA

I use ContacEZ all the time: to open up contact on composites and to clean up overhangs. For new crowns, when the floss can't remove trapped cement, the ContacEZ Gentle Saw cuts and cleans out the cement. Therefore, I use ContacEZ every day in my office. Dr. Daniel Goldberg, Reynoldsburg, OH

ContacEZ is so important for modern dentistry, especially in composite fillings, such as black triangles. Every dentist should use ContacEZ nearly every day for nearly every patient. Dr. David Clark, Tacoma, WA

Are ContacEZ Strips reusable?

Yes, all ContacEZ Dental Strips are autoclavable and sterilizable for multiple uses. CLICK FOR CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Can ContacEZ strips adjust Zirconia crowns?

Yes. ContacEZ diamond strips work with all dental restorative materials including gold, porcelain, composite, amalgam, lava, Zirconia, etc.

What makes ContacEZ Strips more patient-friendly than the alternatives?

Long, two-handed finishing strips tend to cut lips, cheeks, gums, and even dentists' gloves, and their unwieldy length often causes gagging. The single-handed, ergonomic design uses built-in flexibility to maintain the contours and physiological anatomy of the teeth. Most importantly, our products are designed by practicing dentists to ensure ideal and lasting results to provide immediate comfort and functionality.

What can I do if contacts are too tight to fit the Black Diamond Strip?

Dislodge the crown and insert the ContacEZ Black Diamond Dental Strip into the interproximal space with the abrasive surface facing the crown. Place the crown back on the abutment and hold it in place, being careful not to apply any vertical pressure. Begin to pass the strip buccolingually until equal, light pressure is felt on both sides. You can also use the thinner Orange Serrated Diamond Strip to begin the adjustment.

What can I do if the White Serrated Strip is crumbling or breaking?

The White Serrated Strips are exceptionally thin to allow for easy access to proximal contact areas for cutting and cleaning out trapped cement. Vertical pressure or excessive cement can break the strip. For large amounts of even hardened cement, try the Blue Serrated Strip.

How can I be sure my IPR is accurate to the prescribed amounts?

Using the Incremental Thickness Gauges, measure the interproximal space present both before and after performing IPR to ensure only the necessary amount of enamel is removed.

What can I do if my IPR Strip cannot fit into the interproximal space?

Begin with the Yellow IPR Starter (0.06mm, Extra-Fine Diamond, Serrated) to access even overly tight contacts. After passing the strip buccolingually until it becomes passive, repeat with progressively thicker strips until the desired amount of reduction is achieved.

What can I do about the rough surfaces left after performing IPR?

Use the Grey Final Polishing Strip from our Restorative Strip System to quickly and easily restore a smooth, natural surface.

Why are ContacEZ Strips not straight/stiff?

All of the ContacEZ Strips are designed with built-in flexibility to preserve the physiological structure of the teeth to maximize patient comfort and safety.
