Do-All Proxicut System
When presented with a case of an adult patient whose teeth are too crowded to accurately straighten them, an interproximal reduction (IPR) of the enamel would usually be any dentist’s next step. This very common orthodontic procedure places an important emphasis on the patient’s enamel safety. Hence, delicate tools capable of various degrees of precision are required. The Do-All Proxicut System was designed with the need to avoid irreversible damage to the enamel in mind. Thus, prioritising patient comfort and providing a variety of tools to perform a successful IPR.
The Do-All Proxicut System includes a holder, 12 saw blades, as well as 36 diamond strips with abrasiveness ranging from coarse to superfine. Its main use is for interproximal reductions, where small amounts of enamel are selectively removed between teeth. The purpose of an IPR is to help create space to correct crowding, align teeth during orthodontic treatment or to facilitate the placement of restorations like crowns/ veneers. This kit is especially designed to accommodate tighter spaces between teeth – which allows precise and controlled removal of enamel.
Some important features to keep in mind when considering this kit as a new addition to your dental instruments are its patient-friendly design which prevents gagging and soft tissue irritation. Additionally, the strips are flexible (therefore able to easily adapt to irregular, convex and concave tooth surfaces) as well as super thin (which created natural interproximal and labial contours). The single-handed, ergonomic design should also be noted as it provides optimal tactile control and ultimately, reduced hand fatigue.
Another great asset this kit offers is the ease of its use. With the few following steps, you will get a quality interproximal reduction in a swift and simple manner:
- Bend the blade or strip by first inserting the holder finger into the hole of the blade or strip.
- Tighten the blade or strip by first inserting the opposite holder finger into the second hole of the blade or strip and then rotating the screw handle of the holder.
- You are now ready to begin removing excess filling material – which is done by performing a rocking motion of the blade or strip within the interproximal space.
It is clear that the Do-All Proxicut System is bound to achieve precise interproximal reductions with minimal time and effort. The kits effectivity for both anterior and posterior areas as well as the fact that its autoclavable and reusable are just some of its many advantages. It includes a diamond strip for every scenario, which with skilled hands will yield clean and comfortable reductions. So don’t waste any time and get your kit as soon as possible.
