Cutting-Edge IPR Technology That Doesn't Cut^TM

smartIPR is a system that utilizes a vibrating (oscillating) handpiece with non-rotating disks to perform interproximal reduction (IPR). Unlike traditional hand strips, rotating disks, or high-speed air rotor burs, smartIPR creates space gradually while simultaneously polishing enamel. This approach offers greater control, improved precision, and enhanced safety for both the clinician and the patient.

Traditional hand stripping relies on manual movement, typically operating at approximately 1–2 cycles per second (Hz). In contrast, the smartIPR handpiece oscillates at 128–192 Hz, delivering significantly greater efficiency and consistency. This higher frequency allows clinicians to create space more predictably with less physical effort, while maintaining excellent tactile control. Patients also notice the difference—smartIPR's high-frequency motion delivers a smoother, more comfortable experience, unlike traditional hand stripping (often performed without lubrication), which can feel like a "nails on a chalkboard" sensation.

smartIPR delivers controlled vibrational energy through non-rotating disks. Because there is no spinning or cutting action, the system moves gently through tight contacts, helping reduce the risk of soft and hard tissue trauma while creating space between teeth.

Each smartDISK is divided into three working sectors: U (up): Single-sided diamond coated, facing away from the handpiece (~0.07 mm) D (down): Single-sided diamond coated, facing toward the handpiece (~0.07 mm) UD (double-sided): Diamond coated on both sides and matches the labeled thickness This design allows clinicians to begin with a thinner working surface and progressively move to thicker ones, enabling precise, step-by-step interproximal reduction.

smartDISKs are available in four sizes: 0.1 mm (labeled 1) 0.2 mm (labeled 2) 0.3 mm (labeled 3) 0.4 mm (labeled 4) The number on each disk corresponds to the thickness of the double-sided (UD) sector.
