Manual and serrated metal strip for opening of tight contact points between teeth and for removal of coronal excess of adhesive aesthetic restorations. Orthodontic treatments which require the reduction of tooth mesial/distal dimensions - so-called stripping -?the contact points in crooked tooth position are often extremely tight.
An adequate stripping method foresees the opening of the tight contact points. The defined removal of tooth tissue serves to create the necessary space to move the teeth into a harmonious and correct position.
Within the adhesive indirect restoration, material excess may emerge at coronal level.
The removal of emerged adhesive material is necessary to ensure the long life of the restoration.
