Dental Interproximal Enamel Reduction IPR Kit – Orthodontic Strips

The Interproximal Enamel Reduction Kit, commonly known as an IPR Kit, is a professional orthodontic instrument system designed for controlled removal and finishing of small amounts of enamel from the proximal surfaces between adjacent teeth. Interproximal reduction is used in selected orthodontic cases to create additional space for tooth alignment, correction of crowding and management of tooth-size discrepancies. It is frequently incorporated into fixed orthodontic and clear-aligner treatment plans. IPR kits typically contain abrasive strips of different grits or thicknesses, allowing the clinician to progress through opening, reduction, contouring and finishing/polishing stages as appropriate. The strip design provides access to interproximal areas while allowing the dentist or orthodontist to control the reduction process.
