Space creation that polishes, never cuts

smartDISKs vibrate at 128–192 Hz instead of spinning. That energy lets the disk slide gently through tight contacts while polishing enamel, so you open space gradually and precisely, without cutting hard or soft tissue.

What differentiates a spinning disk from an oscillating disk?

CONTINUOUS VS. REVERSING MOTION

Spinning Disks (rotational motion)

When a disk spins, any given point on its edge moves in a consistent tangential direction. This produces a steady cutting action, like a saw blade or grinding wheel, where each edge particle keeps moving forward into the tooth or soft tissue without interruption.

Oscillating Disks (back-and-forth motion)

In oscillation, the disk changes direction repeatedly. This means each stroke must decelerate, stop, and reverse — so the net cutting effect over time is reduced.

Each smartDISK has 3 sectors:

4 smartDISK sizes - 3 sectors each - 12 instruments

Start with a 0.06 mm sector to open contact and step up progressively.

How to use smartIPR

Using the smartIPR system

Begin with the thinnest disk (0.1 mm) using a single-sided sector (“U” or “D”), then rotate to the double-coated “UD” sector. Continue stepwise through the larger disks to reach the reduction you need.

Lubricate

Place IPR Glide on the smartDISK or on the occlusal surface between the teeth you wish to perform IPR on.

Position

Position the smartDISK parallel to the teeth's roots.

Oscillate into the contact

Oscillate the lubricated disk and advance it apically into the interproximal contact. The vibrational energy allows slight separation so the disk can pass through while gently polishing enamel.

Sweep and step up

Apply light pressure with a gentle painting motion, sweeping buccal-lingually and apico-incisally until the disk passes through. Continue until the next size smartDISK fits.
