Interproximal enamel reduction, Orthodontic treatment, Crowding, Tooth recontouring.Abstract
Ever since its first introduction seven decades ago, there has been continuous advancement
of the concept and technique of Interproximal enamel reduction (IPR). It’s demonstrated
that with correct case selection and clinical performance, IPR is safe and effective for alleviating
crowding, improving dental and gingival aesthetics as well as facilitating post-treatment
stability. The fulfilment of treatment outcomes depends on careful pre-treatment examination
and planning, appropriate clinical procedures and effective post-treatment protection. This review
aims to provide a general introduction to IPR in terms of its history background, risks and
benefits and clinical performance.
