There are plenty of tight spaces in the intraoral environment, but all of them must be reachable to achieve proper esthetics. Getting the ideal contour and shine for interproximal areas is an important part of finishing both direct and indirect restorations, and dental finishing strips are designed to accomplish this task. Made from metal or plastic, these thin strips have an abrasive side that can be used for interproximal reduction, contouring or finishing the restoration. Different grits are available and some systems are color coded to make it easy to identify the type of finishing strip being used. Choose a finishing strip system that is comfortable in your hands and achieves the results you’re looking for.
