Abstract
Introduction: The interproximal enamel reduction (IER) technique is a means of gaining ground as part of comprehensive orthodontic treatment. After a careful review of the literature, the article discusses interproximal enamel reduction techniques. Objectives: This article aims to outline a history, indications, contraindications, advantages, disadvantages and precautions of interproximal enamel reduction. Methodology: The keywords “interproximal”, “wear”, enamel”, “orthodontic treatment” were searched on academic google. The search resulted in more than thirty thousand articles published on the topic. The 18 articles with the highest number of citations within the academic google were selected. Results: The interproximal enamel reduction technique, when used correctly for the right cases, can serve as an effective way to gain space during orthodontic treatment. If the technique is used correctly, there is no evidence that it is in any way deleterious to dental hard or soft tissues.References
