Overview

In vitro study evaluates enamel surface roughness in IPR methods, indicating polishing enhances surface quality.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate changes in enamel surface properties after interproximal reduction using various techniques.
  • Randomized division of premolar samples into control and four experimental groups.
  • Measurement of enamel surface roughness and elemental concentrations using advanced microscopy techniques.
  • Comparison of enamel quality after IPR with and without polishing.
  • IPR increased average enamel roughness compared to control with unstripped enamel.
  • Significant roughness difference found between the diamond disc and oscillating strip groups.
  • Polishing improved surface smoothness across all IPR methods.
