ContactEZ ContacEZ Restorative Interproximal Strips, Single-Sided, Extra-Fine Diamond, Orange are used for adjusting and contouring proximal contacts of indirect and direct dental restorations including crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, and composite fillings where the orange extra-fine single-sided serrated diamond strip provides the controlled proximal surface reduction needed to eliminate excessive interproximal contact pressure between the restoration and the adjacent tooth, restore comfortable interproximal relief, and remove proximal overhangs and surface irregularities at the restoration margin without opening the contact excessively or creating sharp corners at the proximal surface of the adjusted restoration. The orange color code identifies this as the extra-fine grit format within the ContacEZ Restorative Strip System's color-coded range, making it the appropriate strip for fine proximal contact adjustment where only a small amount of material removal is needed to achieve ideal contact relief, as distinguished from coarser formats used for heavier contact reduction.
The serrated top and bottom edges of the strip allow it to cut into tight interproximal spaces and penetrate contacts that are too tight for the strip to enter without serration, preparing the interproximal space for diamond surface contact adjustment through the combined action of the abrasive diamond coating and the sawtooth serrated edge working together during the buccal-lingual strip stroke. Restorative dentists who seat crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, and composite restorations and require a reliable interproximal strip for chairside proximal contact adjustment and marginal seating find ContactEZ ContacEZ Restorative Orange Extra-Fine Serrated Strips the flexible diamond single-sided autoclavable 8-count pack for their active daily restorative proximal contact adjustment program.
?
Each pack contains 8 individual ContactEZ ContacEZ Restorative Interproximal Strips in orange extra-fine diamond single-sided serrated format, providing a per-pack strip supply for proximal contact adjustment procedures across multiple restorative seating appointments. Each strip is reusable for up to 5 uses before disposal, providing multiple adjustment events from each strip before the diamond grit becomes insufficient for effective surface reduction.
The 8-strip pack provides a practical per-pack supply for a busy restorative practice performing proximal contact adjustments at multiple daily crown, veneer, and composite seating appointments.

ContactEZ ContacEZ Restorative Orange Strips work through their flexible stainless steel substrate with single-sided extra-fine diamond coating and serrated top and bottom edges where the strip's flexibility allows it to curve and conform along the natural proximal convexity of the restoration's contact surface as the clinician passes the strip buccolingually through the interproximal space, following the natural rounded contour of the proximal surface rather than cutting a flat plane that would create sharp corners at the adjusted contact zone. The single-sided diamond coating applies abrasive reduction to the restoration surface on only the coated side, allowing the clinician to direct the reduction precisely at the restoration contact rather than simultaneously reducing the adjacent natural tooth surface. The serrated edge facilitates entry into tight interproximal contacts that the strip cannot penetrate without serration, cutting through the initial contact resistance to provide access for the diamond surface to perform the controlled reduction at the contact point.
Autoclavable by steam heat only up to 270?F for 10 minutes at a maximum of 30 psi for sterilization between patient uses.

Restorative dentists seating posterior crowns on premolars and molars where the proximal contact is too tight for comfortable flossing after cementation find the orange extra-fine strip provides the controlled fine adjustment needed to restore ideal contact relief without removing excessive material from the crown's proximal surface. Dentists finishing Class II composite restorations where the proximal contact is slightly overbuilt find the orange serrated strip the appropriate chairside instrument for contouring the composite surface at the contact zone to achieve the desired contact tightness before the patient leaves the chair.
