It would be impossible to practice modern adhesive dentistry without finishing strips, yet I haven’t seen many<br />
products to get excited about in the last few years. Enter GripStrip diamond-coated strips. Someone really<br />
smart over at Centrix realized how much easier it would be for dental professionals to control the use of metal<br />
finishing strips if there was a better way to hold onto them, and the perforated tabs at either end of these<br />
finishing and polishing strips solve that problem. There is an uncoated zone in the middle of each strip where<br />
there is no abrasive, allowing you to pull it through tight interproximal areas. Each strip also has a 40-micron<br />
grit side for finishing and a 15-micron grit side for polishing. It’s pretty much the perfect interproximal strip.<br />
Here’s hoping they come out with a serrated version for breaking through inadvertently fused contacts.<br />
