We love ContacEZ! This is a fabulous product we use on a daily basis in our practice. From general dentistry to orthodontics, it is a must-have for every dental office. Drs. Vivian de la Carmara and Luis Rodriguez, Apple Dental Group, Miami Springs, FL

I've tried many other products to remove excess cement and overhangs, from CeriSaws to Mizzy blades and strips. ContacEZ is far superior and increased durability has made my restorative dentistry easier and safer. Dr. Isaac D. Tawil, Brooklyn, NY

"I use ContacEZ every day to adjust and smooth margins of composites. ContacEZ has greatly increased the ease of creating a perfect margin! I can't imagine not having it as part of my routine set up for composites." Aimee M. Fujioka, DMD - Fujioka Family Dentistry - Vancouver, WA

You have to have it in your office. Dr. Thomas Dickson, Midvale, UT

ContacEZ (Dental Diamond Strip) is a perfect complement to CEREC. It allows me to achieve superior contacts with minimal effort and time. Dr. Joseph Palumbo, East Lyme, CT

I can't live without ContacEZ! Dr. Kevin Frawley, Beverly Hills, CA

I love ContacEZ strips. It's Great. I use them every day. Dr. Michael Scherb, Jupiter, FL

I'm very glad to have discovered such a company as yours that provides an excellent product, with direct service to the end user (vs. via a multi-layered dealer scenario with multiple markups), and very reasonable prices. Your competitors run a distant second in quality and price. Dr. Annie Sohn, Seattle, WA

I use ContacEZ strips for IPR for Invisalign treatment and to remove excess interproximal cement. They are excellent. Dr. Stephen Young, Richmond, VA

ContacEZ IPR Strips are very easy to use and gentle to patients; patients feel comfortable in accepting IPR Strips for their treatment. Dr. Denise Hering, Reynoldsburg, OH

I love ContacEZ and use them every day! Great product! Dr. Martin P. Bleckner, Summit, NJ

I love ContacEZ! It has been good with veneers. Dr. Laura Bridges, Holmdel, NJ

Thanks for such a great invention you've changed my life! Dr. Janette Carroll, Mt. Vernon, WA

I love your products! ContacEZ has made interproximal stripping safer for myself, my staff, and my patients! Dr. Susan Chen, Sammamish, WA

I have tried other competing contact adjusting devices and have continued to find yours as the best. Yours are more elegantly designed, flexible and small enough to fit in difficult-to-reach areas. Dr. Mark Elmore, Puyallup, WA

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

I think the ContacEZ would help everybody. This whole tooth business is tedious enough and anything that makes it go smoother is a blessing for everyone. Dr. Myron B. Stringer, Cookerville, TN

Performing IPR is no longer a drudgery. Full control and the ability to quickly establish the necessary reduction when doing Invisalign cases is greatly enhanced when using your strips. They are very user and patient friendly. Dr. Curtis Chan, San Diego, CA

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

I am enjoying using your product. ContacEZ has been a welcome addition in my office to aid in attaining ideal interproximal contacts in all my restorations, both milled and lab fabricated. Dr. John McGrane, Cedar Rapids, IA

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.
