Accuprox – Precision Gauge for Interproximal Reduction (IPR) is an innovative clinical tool designed to enhance the accuracy and consistency of enamel reduction in orthodontics. Traditional IPR techniques often rely on subjective estimation, leading to variability and potential over- or under-reduction. Accuprox addresses this limitation by providing predefined thickness markers, ensuring controlled and standardized enamel removal. The gauge is simple to use, allowing clinicians to achieve precise space creation with minimal iatrogenic damage. By standardizing the IPR process, Accuprox enhances treatment predictability and reduces technique sensitivity, making it a valuable addition to orthodontic practice.
Keywords: Interproximal reduction, Enamel preservation, Orthodontic space management, Stainless steel gauge, Precision gauge.
