Abstract:
Background:
The purpose of the study is to qualitatively evaluate the ultramorphology, surface roughness, and clinical manifestations on dental health after various stripping, polishing, and postpolishing enamel protection methods which were followed by various researchers to sum up the more pragmatic and less pragmatic results through the research methodology of content analysis.
Objectives:
To qualitatively and inductively evaluate various stripping, polishing, and postpolishing enamel protection methods on ultramorphology and enamel surface roughness along with its clinical effects on dental health after thorough content analysis to provide a sound knowledge to the clinician to justify their decisions related to interproximal reduction (IPR), to make it an extremely useful space gaining tool if used with due caution.
Materials and Methods:
A comprehensive search of articles related to this study was collected from the past 25 years and a conceptual type of content analysis of all the selected articles was done. Inferences obtained through the analysis of the documented research data were then summed up in tabular form.
Results:
The results summated to the very important fact that all stripping methods microscopically leave a roughened enamel surface but clinically have no deleterious effects on dental health if performed judiciously followed by appropriate polishing and postpolishing protection methods.
Conclusion:
It can be determined that IPR should be carried out with greatest caution when using coarser stripping devices followed by prolonged polishing, but cautious use of finer stripping devices could be a better choice along with suitable polishing and protection methods.
