Incremental Thickness Guage

The ContacEZ Incremental Thickness Gauge efficiently and accurately confirms the amount of interproximal enamel removal or contact reduction for orthodontic treatment. Measure the space prior to stripping to determine how much enamel to remove. Select the proper Gauge for the amount of space prescribed for the treatment, and gently insert the 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 not to force the gauge into the space when measuring. To confirm reduction, measure again when stripping is completed. In order to ensure a natural finish, it is important to polish the interproximal surfaces using the ContacEZ Gray Final Polishing Strip. Sterilize Gauges with steam heat, dry heat, or chemiclave. To prevent oxidization, avoid contact with dissimilar metals.
