A wide array of methods (manual, mechanically-driven and chemical means), have been employed to remove the enamel in a controlled manner with minimum substrate alterations. The goal is to minimize roughness in the proximal surfaces to decrease the potential for undesirable hard and soft tissue effects. Although a definitive risk for severe decalcification and high probability for carious lesions has not been established, a number of concerns have been raised over the potential iatrogenic sequalae linked with the technique. This review summarizes the currently available evidence in the literature on the indications, methods and necessary safety precautions. Also, reviewed, is the methodology utilized in studies investigating the surface enamel appearance following enamel removal. The consensus of a limited number of research studies is that no specific risk for caries is associated with stripping, although long-term evidence on this issue is not currently available.

Interproximal enamel reduction is a clinical procedure known to orthodontists for more than five decades (Hudson, 1956). Even though stripping was initially used exclusively for the correction of the late secondary crowding problems in adults (Phillipe, 1991; de Harfin, 2000), recently, this procedure has been implemented in the treatment of children and adolescents (Stroud et al., 1998). Today, stripping is commonly used in everyday practice in cases where space is needed to align the teeth in moderate crowding and correct tooth size discrepancies. In addition, the introduction of a new treatment technique (Invisalign®), which does not employ the conventional orthodontic appliances for the movement of teeth, thus relying on the generation of space through enamel reduction, may increase the frequency of stripping in routine practice. A number of methods utilizing mechanical, chemical or a combination has been presented as methods of choice for safe and efficient enamel reduction (Valinoti, 1974; Paskow, 1970). While several reports have focused on the effects induced in the morphology and surface roughness of enamel, and associated potential for plaque accumulation locally, a consensus is lacking concerning the potential for increased caries risk. The purpose of this paper is to present the various stripping methods currently available, list the indications, and discuss the potential effects of stripping on enamel integrity through a critical review of the relevant literature. A proposal for elimination of bias and enhancement of the coherence and clinical applicability of research protocols is also provided I N D I C AT I O N S F O R STRIPPING Major indications for stripping involve the late crowding developed after orthodontic treatment and the mild or moderate primary crowding (JostBrinkmann et al., 1991). In general, crowing that does not exceed 5-6 mm could be an ideal candidate for interproximal stripping (Betteridge, 1981). Furthermore stripping can be useful in cases where the leeway space cannot be utilized to generate space, and the maintenance of the primary molar is critical, as in arches with congenitally missing premolars EN¢EI•EI™ ME™O¢ONTIA™ A¢AMANTINIKH™ MEIø™H™ √È Î‡ÚȘ ÂӉ›ÍÂȘ Ù˘ Ù¯ÓÈ΋˜ ·ÊÔÚÔ‡Ó ÛÙÔÓ fi„ÈÌÔ Û˘ÓˆÛÙÈÛÌfi Ô˘ ÂÌÊ·Ó›˙ÂÙ·È ÌÂÙ¿ ÙËÓ ÔÚıÔ‰ÔÓÙÈ΋ ıÂڷ›· Î·È ÛÙÔÓ ‹ÈÔ ‹ ̤ÙÚÈÔ ÚˆÙÔÁÂÓ‹ Û˘ÓˆÛÙÈÛÌfi E§§HNIKH OP£O¢ONTIKH E¶I£EøPH™H 2002 ñ TOMO™ 5 22 HELLENIC ORTHODONTIC REVIEW 2002 ñ VOLUME 5 ¢ONTIKH £O ET OP E§ ™ 1963 ¢O §A A PEI AI X. °KIOKA Î·È £.

GIOKA and T. ELIADES Interproximal enamel reduction (stripping): indications and enamel surface effects (Proffit and Fields, 2000). Finally, reduction of interproximal enamel is the usual strategy to compensate for discrepancies caused by tooth size discrepancies i.e., Bolton’s discrepancy. A tooth size discrepancy of less than 1.5 mm is rarely significant, but larger discrepancies create treatment problems and must be included in the orthodontic problem list (Proffit and Fields, 2000). Stripping of posterior teeth may also be proven useful in several cases. The technique for interproximal enamel reduction in the posterior area is referred in the literature as air-rotor stripping (ARS) and appears to be a good alternative to extraction or expansion procedures in cases of mild-tomoderate crowding (Sheridan, 1987). ARS is used to resolve crowding by reducing enamel mass distal to the canines, where the greatest amount of enamel is present (El-Mangoury et al., 1991). This method offers further solution in cases of moderate crowing of 4-6 mm, where anterior interproximal reduction of more than 2-3 mm would be inadequate because of the alarmingly reduced enamel thickness remaining on the lower incisors (Sheridan, 1987). Obviously, stripping of posterior teeth is a valuable treatment option in borderline extraction cases. However, a concern may arise from the shape of posterior proximal contact points. Contacts in the anterior arch segment may be efficiently flattened since the proximal morphology of lower and upper incisors approximates that of a flat surface. ∏owever, alteration of the curved posterior proximal contacts may inflict detrimental changes on the functionality of the contact including accumulation of plaque and reduced self-cleaning efficiency. To decrease the complexity of the procedure, Sheridan (1987) proposes the use of open coil spring prior to stripping to efficiently control the removal of enamel with a bur. In spite of the generation of arch space in crowded cases, some authors have proposed that stripping may contribute to lower incisor stability based on the fact that this procedure results in flattened contact surfaces and the reduced procumbation of the crowns, an effect which may decrease the tendency for relapse (Proffit and Fields, 2000). However, others support that an opposite effect may be seen in stripped lower incisors, based on the decrease of the intercanine width and the associated greater tendency for relapse (Betteridge, 1981). Therefore, further evidence is required before a definitive consensus is formed on this issue. 23 HELLENIC ORTHODONTIC REVIEW 2002 ñ VOLUME 5 ¢ONTIKH £O ET OP E§ ™ 1963 ¢O §A A PEI AI X. °KIOKA Î·È £.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TECHNIQUE (i) Standard interproximal reduction The clinical procedure of stripping may be divided into two stages: the initial enamel reduction and the final enamel polishing, which is necessary to decrease the roughness of the reduced surface. Enamel reduction is basically performed by mechanical or chemical means: (a) The mechanical means of obtaining enamel reduction is typically achieved by grinding the interproximal tooth surfaces. For this purpose various types of diamond burs or perforated diamond-coated discs can be utilized in conjunction with handpieces (air-rotor or micromotor). The use of diamond-coated strips adapted to handpieces has also been suggested for the same purpose, whilst diamond coated strips may also be used manually. Stripping of teeth which have rounded proximal surfaces may be achieved with the use of specially fabricated burs which remove enamel tissue in the direction of curvature, thus preserving the anatomic shape of the surface (Zachrisson, 2001). (b) The chemical method of mesiodistal enamel reduction is based on the microabrasive effect of acids on enamel. Acid etching of enamel with the use of 37% orthophosphoric acid may be employed in combination with mechanical stripping, to facilitate a faster stripping procedure and supposedly a smoother surface. This mode of enamel reduction eliminates the disadvantages of the single mechanical procedure by creating a relative smooth surface that has the potential to remineralize (Joseph et al., 1992). πn general, enamel reduction leaves a relatively rough enamel surface, and thus polishing should follow in every stage to decrease the roughness. For this purpose a wide array of So-flex discs and polishing strips may be used in handpiece or manually, whereas fine and ultrafine diamond burs may assist the operator in achieving a smooth contact area, which will presumably prevent excessive plaque accumulation. ¶ E P I ° PA º H T H ™ T E X N I K H ™ È) ¶Úfi fiÙÙ˘Ë ÌÂÛÔ‰fi fiÓÓÙÈ· Ì›ˆÛË ·‰·Ì·ÓÙ›Ó˘ ∏ ÎÏÈÓÈ΋ ‰È·‰Èηۛ· Ù˘ Ù¯ÓÈ΋˜ ÌÔÚ› Ó· ¯ˆÚÈÛÙ› Û ‰‡Ô ÛÙ¿‰È·: ÛÙËÓ ·Ú¯È΋ ·‰·Ì·ÓÙÈÓÈ΋ Ì›ˆÛË Î·È ÛÙËÓ ÙÂÏÈ΋ Ï›·ÓÛË Î·È ÛٛςˆÛË Ù˘ ·‰·Ì·ÓÙ›Ó˘, Ô˘ Â›Ó·È ··Ú·›ÙËÙË ÁÈ· Ó· ÌÂȈı› Ë ·‰ÚfiÙËÙ· Ù˘ ÂÈÊ¿ÓÂÈ·˜. ∏ ·‰·Ì·ÓÙÈÓÈ΋ Ì›ˆÛË Á›ÓÂÙ·È ‚·ÛÈο Ì Ì˯·ÓÈÎfi ‹ ¯ËÌÈÎfi ÙÚfiÔ: (·) √ Ì˯·ÓÈÎfi˜ ÙÚfiÔ˜ Û˘Ó›ÛÙ·Ù·È Î·Ù¿ ηÓfiÓ· Û ÙÚÔ¯ÈÛÌfi ÙˆÓ ÔÌfiÚˆÓ Ô‰ÔÓÙÈÎÒÓ ÂÈÊ·ÓÂÈÒÓ. °È· ÙÔ ÛÎÔfi ·˘Ùfi ÌÔÚ› Ó· ¯ÚËÛÈÌÔÔÈËıÔ‡Ó ‰È¿ÊÔÚÔÈ Ù‡ÔÈ ÂÁÁÏ˘Ê›‰ˆÓ ‰È·Ì·ÓÙÈÔ‡ ‹ ‰È¿ÙÚËÙÔÈ ‰›ÛÎÔÈ Ì ÂÈÎ¿Ï˘„Ë ‰È·Ì·ÓÙÈÔ‡ Û ¯ÂÈÚÔÏ·‚¤˜ (˘„ËÏÒÓ ‹ ¯·ÌËÏÒÓ Ù·¯˘Ù‹ÙˆÓ). °È· ÙÔÓ ›‰ÈÔ ÛÎÔfi ¤¯ÂÈ Â›Û˘ ÚÔÙ·ı› Ë ¯Ú‹ÛË Ù·ÈÓÈÒÓ Ì ÂÈÎ¿Ï˘„Ë ‰È·Ì·ÓÙÈÔ‡ Ô˘ ÚÔÛ·ÚÌfi˙ÔÓÙ·È ÛÙȘ ¯ÂÈÚÔÏ·‚¤˜, ÂÓÒ, ·ÎfiÌË, Â›Ó·È ‰˘Ó·ÙfiÓ Ó· ¯ÚËÛÈÌÔÔÈËıÔ‡Ó Ù¤ÙÔȘ Ù·Èӛ˜ Ì ÙÔ ¯¤ÚÈ. ∞Ê·›ÚÂÛË Ù˘ ·‰·Ì·ÓÙ›Ó˘ Û ‰fiÓÙÈ· Ì ·ÔÛÙÚÔÁÁ˘ÏÂ̤Ó˜ fiÌÔÚ˜ ÂÈÊ¿ÓÂȘ ÌÔÚ› Ó· Á›ÓÂÈ Ì ÙË ¯Ú‹ÛË ÂȉÈο ηٷÛ΢·ÛÌ¤ÓˆÓ ÂÁÁÏ˘Ê›‰ˆÓ Ô˘ ·Ê·ÈÚÔ‡Ó ÙÔÓ ·‰·Ì·ÓÙÈÓÈÎfi ÈÛÙfi ÚÔ˜ ÙËÓ Î·Ù‡ı˘ÓÛË Ù˘ Î·Ì˘ÏfiÙËÙ·˜, ‰È·ÙËÚÒÓÙ·˜ ¤ÙÛÈ ÙÔ ·Ó·ÙÔÌÈÎfi Û¯‹Ì· Ù˘ ÂÈÊ¿ÓÂÈ·˜ (Zachrisson, 2001).

Several studies have focused on the investigation of comparative enamel roughness following stripping with the fundamental objective of proposing a method of choice, which will efficiently eliminate the furrows formed on the enamel following removal (Lundgren et al., 1993). A wide array of oscillating perforated diamondcoated discs for enamel reduction and a series of sofLex discs, cattle disks, or fine pumice media used for polishing have been found to induce the least amount of enamel roughness. A study focusing on this issue has shown that more than 90% of the reproximated surfaces of the enamel samples were very well polished resulting in enamel surfaces smoother than untreated enamel. In addition, this method was found to be less time-consuming, as it required an average of 2.2 min per session, whilst being safe and comfortable for the patient because it eliminated the use of lip and/or cheek protectors to prevent injuries (Zhong et al., 2000). Similarly, an efficient alternative to standard form of stripping is the use of tungsten carbide burs to reduce enamel, in conjunction with polishing, typically achieved with the use of fine and ultrafine diamond burs, sof-Lex discs or strips. A recent investigation showed that the use of an 8-fluted tungsten carbide bur followed by Sof-Lex discs for polishing enamel, results in the formation of a relatively polished surfaces, which often appeared smoother than the intact or untreated enamel (Piacentini and Sfondrini, 1996). The same investigators demonstrated that the formation of furrows left on the enamel by diamond burs, diamond discs and 16- blade tungsten carbide, is an irreversible alteration, which cannot be eliminated using normal polishing and cleaning methods. A study focusing on stripping of the posterior dentition, demonstrated that the use of tungsten carbide burs to reduce enamel is preferable not only because it leaves a smooth surface but because it contributes to the formation of an anatomic shape, which approximates that of the original tooth surface (Jarvis, 1989). Finally, a method of effectively improving the enamel surface appearance following stripping may pertain to the polishing with aluminum oxide-coated strips or discs with the use of a handpiece. Hein et al. (1990), have shown that, after 60 sec of polishing, the treated ÈÈ) ∆ÚÔÔÔÈË̤ÓË Ù¯ÓÈ΋ ∏ Ù˘È΋ ÌÔÚÊ‹ Ù˘ Ù¯ÓÈ΋˜ ·ÔÙÂÏ› Ô˘ÛÈ·ÛÙÈο Ì›· ÂÂÌ‚·ÙÈ΋ ‰È·‰Èηۛ·, ÙfiÛÔ ÁÈ· ÙËÓ ·‰·Ì·ÓÙ›ÓË fiÛÔ Î·È ÁÈ· ÙÔ˘˜ Ì·Ï·ÎÔ‡˜ ÂÚÈÔ‰ÔÓÙÈÎÔ‡˜ ÈÛÙÔ‡˜. ¢fiÓÙÈ· ÛÙ· ÔÔ›· ¤¯ÂÈ Á›ÓÂÈ ˘ÂÚ‚ÔÏÈ΋ ÌÂÛÔ‰fiÓÙÈ· ·Ê·›ÚÂÛË ·‰·Ì·ÓÙ›Ó˘ ÌÔÚ› Ó· ÂÌÊ·Ó›ÛÔ˘Ó ÛËÌ›· ¢·ÈÛıËÛ›·˜ Û ‰È¿ÊÔÚ· ÂÚÂı›ÛÌ·Ù· ÏfiÁˆ Ù˘ ·‰·Ì·ÓÙÈÓÈ΋˜ Ì›ˆÛ˘ Î·È Èı·Ó‹˜ ¤ÎıÂÛ˘ Ô‰ÔÓÙ›Ó˘ ÛÙÔ ÂÓ‰ÔÛÙÔÌ·ÙÈÎfi ÂÚÈ‚¿ÏÏÔÓ. ∂ÈϤÔÓ, ÌÂÙ¿ ÙËÓ ÂÊ·ÚÌÔÁ‹ Ù˘ Ù¯ÓÈ΋˜, ÌÂÙ·‚¿ÏÏÔÓÙ·È ÔÈ ÂÈÊ·ÓÂȷΤ˜ ȉÈfiÙËÙ˜ Ù˘ ·‰·Ì·ÓÙ›Ó˘ Ì ·ÚÈ· ›‰Ú·ÛË Â› Ù˘ ·‰ÚfiÙËÙ¿˜ Ù˘, ÁÂÁÔÓfi˜ Ô˘ ÌÔÚ› Ó· Úԉȷı¤ÛÂÈ ÛÂ Û˘ÛÛÒÚ¢ÛË ÌÈÎÚԂȷ΋˜ Ͽη˜. ∞ÚÎÂÙ¤˜ ÌÂϤÙ˜ ·Û¯ÔÏ‹ıËÎ·Ó Ì ÙË ‰ÈÂÚ‡ÓËÛË Ù˘ Û˘ÁÎÚÈÙÈ΋˜ ·‰·Ì·ÓÙÈÓÈ΋˜ ·‰ÚfiÙËÙ·˜ ÌÂÙ¿ ÙËÓ ÂÊ·ÚÌÔÁ‹ Ù˘ Ù¯ÓÈ΋˜ Ì ·ÚÈÔ ÛÙfi¯Ô Ó· ÚÔÙ·ı› Ì›· ̤ıÔ‰Ô˜ ÂÎÏÔÁ‹˜, Ë ÔÔ›· ı· ÂÍ·Ï›„ÂÈ ·ÔÙÂÏÂÛÌ·ÙÈο ÙȘ ÁÚ·ÌÌÒÛÂȘ Ô˘ ‰ËÌÈÔ˘ÚÁÔ‡ÓÙ·È ÛÙËÓ ·‰·Ì·ÓÙ›ÓË ÌÂÙ¿ ÙËÓ ·Ê·›ÚÂÛ‹ Ù˘ (Lundgren Î·È Û˘Ó., 1993). µÚ¤ıËΠfiÙÈ Ì›· ÌÂÁ¿ÏË ÔÈÎÈÏ›· ‰ÔÓÔ‡ÌÂÓˆÓ ‰È¿ÙÚËÙˆÓ ·‰·Ì¿ÓÙÈÓˆÓ ‰›ÛÎˆÓ ÁÈ· ·Ê·›ÚÂÛË ·‰·Ì·ÓÙ›Ó˘ Î·È ÛÂÈÚ¿ ‰›ÛÎˆÓ Sof-Lex, ‰›ÛÎˆÓ ‹ Ì¤ÛˆÓ ÏÂÙfiÎÔÎ΢ ÂÏ·ÊÚfiÂÙÚ·˜ Ô˘ ¯ÚËÛÈÌÔÔÈÔ‡ÓÙ·È ÁÈ· ÛٛςˆÛË ÂÈÙ˘Á¯¿ÓÔ˘Ó ÂÏ¿¯ÈÛÙË ·‰·Ì·ÓÙÈÓÈ΋ ·‰ÚfiÙËÙ·. ™¯ÂÙÈ΋ ÌÂϤÙË ¤‰ÂÈÍ fiÙÈ ÂÚÈÛÛfiÙÂÚÔ ·fi 90% ÙˆÓ ÂÈÊ·ÓÂÈÒÓ ÙˆÓ ‰ÂÈÁÌ¿ÙˆÓ ·‰·Ì·ÓÙ›Ó˘ fiÔ˘ ÂÊ·ÚÌfiÛÙËÎÂ Ë Ù¯ÓÈ΋ ›¯·Ó ÛÙÈÏ‚ˆı› Ôχ ηϿ, ÁÂÁÔÓfi˜ Ô˘ ›¯Â ˆ˜ ·ÔÙ¤ÏÂÛÌ· ÂÈÊ¿ÓÂȘ ÈÔ Ï›˜ ·fi ·˘Ù¤˜ Ô˘ ‰ÂÓ Â›¯·Ó ÙÚÔ¯ÈÛÙ› ηıfiÏÔ˘. ∂ÈϤÔÓ, ‚Ú¤ıËΠfiÙÈ Ë Ì¤ıÔ‰Ô˜ ·˘Ù‹ ‹Ù·Ó ÏÈÁfiÙÂÚÔ ¯ÚÔÓÔ‚fiÚ· ηıÒ˜ ··ÈÙÔ‡Û ÂÚ›Ô˘ 2.2 ÏÂÙ¿ ·Ó¿ Û˘Ó‰ڛ·, ÂÓÒ, Ù·˘Ùfi¯ÚÔÓ·, ‹Ù·Ó ·ÛÊ·Ï‹˜ Î·È ¿ÓÂÙË ÁÈ· ÙÔÓ ·ÛıÂÓ‹ ÂÂȉ‹ ‰ÂÓ ··ÈÙÔ‡ÓÙ·Ó Ë ¯Ú‹ÛË ÚÔÊ˘Ï·ÎÙÈÎÒÓ Ì¤ÛˆÓ ÁÈ· Ù· ¯Â›ÏË Î·È / ‹ ÙȘ ·ÚÂȤ˜ ÚÔ˜ ·ÔÊ˘Á‹Ó ÙÚ·˘Ì·ÙÈÛÌÒÓ E§§HNIKH OP£O¢ONTIKH E¶I£EøPH™H 2002 ñ TOMO™ 5 C.

EFFECTS ON THE ENAMEL S U R FA C E A N D P U L P T I S S U E Generally, proximal reduction generates the formation of grooves and valleys located mainly in the cervical region of the teeth. Scanning electron images of treated enamel surfaces 12 weeks after stripping revealed furrows having edges of decreased roughness relative to the roughness obtained immediately after stripping, whereas evidence of plaque accumulation was also identified. One year following stripping, further levelling of the edges was observed in some specimens on the proximal contact areas, but not in the cervical regions (Radlanski et al., 1990). The furrows left after stripping and finishing remain obviously an unsolved problem, which may predispose for periodontal pathology and carries, since a rough enamel surface in the oral environment may provide more retentive sites for bacterial attachment. However, there appears to be a dispute over the potential predisposition of stripped enamel to caries. The main body of the literature in the filed indicates that there are no detrimental effects on enamel or the periodontal status of treated teeth (Radlanski et al., 1988; 1989; Crain and Sheridan, 1990; Jost-Brinkmann et al., 1991; Joseph et al., 1992; El-Mangoury et al., 1991). Although some authors have shown that in vivo-aged teeth exhibit decalcification 6 months after stripping, followed by reminerilization 9 months following the procedure (ElMangoury et al., 1991), long-term evidence concerning the potential for caries risk is lacking. This effect may be further exaggerated by the recent application of stripping to mixed dentition treatment, where the level of oral hygiene may not be optimum. Stripping removes the surface layer of enamel, which are harder and tend to have higher mineral and lower water content than subsurface enamel (Ogaard, 2001), whilst they contains more fluoride than deeper zones (Jenkins, 1978). The loss of the surface enamel and associated exposure of the enamel prism endings to oral environment, induces a decrease in the resistance of the tooth surface to organic acids produced in plaque and more prone to decalcification (Ogaard, 2001). Therefore, stripping of lower incisors may be performed to the extent that E¶I¢PA™EI™ ™THN A¢AMANTINIKH E¶IºANEIA KAI ™TON ¶O§ºIKO I™TO °ÂÓÈο, Ë fiÌÔÚË ·Ê·›ÚÂÛË ·‰·Ì·ÓÙ›Ó˘ ÚÔηÏ› ·‡Ï·Î˜ Î·È ÎÔÈÏ¿ÓÛÂȘ ΢ڛˆ˜ ÛÙËÓ ·˘¯ÂÓÈ΋ ÂÚÈÔ¯‹ ÙˆÓ ‰ÔÓÙÈÒÓ. ∂ÈÎfiÓ˜ ËÏÂÎÙÚÔÓÈÎÔ‡ ÌÈÎÚÔÛÎÔ›Ô˘ ·fi ÂÂÍÂÚÁ·Ṳ̂Ó˜ ÂÈÊ¿ÓÂȘ ·‰·Ì·ÓÙ›Ó˘ 12 ‚‰ÔÌ¿‰Â˜ ÌÂÙ¿ ÙËÓ ÂÊ·ÚÌÔÁ‹ Ù˘ Ù¯ÓÈ΋˜ ·ÔÎ¿Ï˘„·Ó ÙËÓ ·ÚÔ˘Û›· ÁÚ·ÌÌÒÛÂˆÓ Ì ¿ÎÚ· ÌÂȈ̤Ó˘ ·‰ÚfiÙËÙ·˜ Û˘ÁÎÚÈÙÈο Ì ÙËÓ ·‰ÚfiÙËÙ· Ô˘ ˘¿Ú¯ÂÈ ·Ì¤Ûˆ˜ ÌÂÙ¿ E§§HNIKH OP£O¢ONTIKH E¶I£EøPH™H 2002 ñ TOMO™ 5 C.

ELIADES Interproximal enamel reduction (stripping): indications and enamel surface effects a maximum of 0.5 mm on each side, without going through the interproximal enamel. For a typical crowded case where mandibular crowding usually does not exceed 4 mm, space can be gained by reducing each incisor 0.25 mm per side (Proffit and Fields, 2000). Based on a minimum enamel thickness of 0.36 mm for the mandibular anterior teeth, Hudson (1956), in one of the earliest reports available, suggested a maximum removal of 0.25 mm per surface from the incisors, and 0.3 mm from the canines; others modified these limits for the mandibular incisors to 0.5 mm per surface. However, some authors have warned against removing more than 0.2 mm of enamel (Zhong et al., 1999) emphasizing the higher caries risk. A recent study showed that there is a remarkable variation in the thickness of incisors among individuals, whilst it seems that enamel is thicker on the distal than the mesial margins of both the lateral and central incisors, with a mean difference of 0.1 mm (Harris and Hicks, 1998). The same authors found that the widths of the dentine of the crowns were significantly greater in males, by an average of 6.5% (Harris and Hicks, 1998); this evidence should be taken into account in planning stripping. Enamel removal in posterior teeth using the ARS technique should be limited to 1 mm in each contact area (0.5 mm per surface) (Sheridan and Hastings, 1992). The accumulating space should be measured and charted by means of an interdental spacemeasuring gauge. In general, the dispute over the safe limits of enamel removal derives from the lack of long-term studies investigating the prevalence of caries or decalcification on stripped teeth. As a result, the figures found in the literature represent subjective estimates of authors and thus, should not serve as a guideline for clinicians.

As a result the information provided is subjective and may vary among different observers. Because the reports presented in the relevant literature have a pivotal role in formulating guidelines for clinicians, caution should be exercised in extrapolating results from in vitro studies to the clinical conditions. Further, the vast majority of studies utilized extracted teeth to investigate the effects of various enamel reduction techniques on enamel. A variety of teeth have been used to investigate the effects induced on enamel by stripping, including upper central incisors, premolars, and lower incisors, and therefore, there is a lack of comparable results among trials performed in different laboratories. Whilst premolar extraction may be an integral part of orthodontic therapy facilitating the easy collection of those teeth, premolar crown contour variations (Taylor, 1978) may complicate the effort to have substrate surface consistency. In addition, a wide variability has been noted with respect storage media and time periods for extracted teeth; these parameters may have an undetermined effect on the enamel surface morphology (Eliades and Brantley, 1999). When these varying storage times are combined with the use of miscellaneous storage media that have employed different concentrations of thymol, saline or formalin, it becomes very difficult to draw conclusions from such studies. Also, the influence of post-extraction time and storage conditions on enamel surface structure has not been investigated. Evidence available from enamel bonding studies, has indicated that that strength values provided by teeth stored in formalin were reported to be twice as much as those of their saline-stored counterparts (Kimura et al., 1985). These considerations gain special importance since the composition and topography of surface properties of enamel are of paramount importance for a reliable assessment of the effect of stripping on the hard tooth tissue integrity. In one of the few articles published on the effect of storage medium on enamel, it was showed that enamel specimens stored in physiologic saline were softer than corresponding specimens stored in water (Muhlemann, 1964). As a rule, formaldehyde should be avoided, because its strong acidity following oxidation to formic acid may affect the pH of storage media (Eliades and Brantley, 1999).

GIOKA and T. ELIADES Interproximal enamel reduction (stripping): indications and enamel surface effects implication of the aforementioned factors in modifying the results of stripping on enamel acting as confounding variables has not been investigated in the associated literature. Most interestingly, the investigation of surface roughness following various stripping methods as performed in relevant studies, presents some fundamental flaws. Generally, three major roughness variables have been utilized in the greater biomedical literature to study the roughness of surfaces. These include: a) the roughness parameter (Ra), which describes the overall surface roughness and can be defined as the arithmetical average value of all absolute distances of the roughness profile from the center line within the measuring length; b) the root mean square (Rq) parameter representing the height distribution relative to the a mean line; and c) the maximum roughness depth (Rmax), which registers isolated profile features on the surface. The multiplicity and variability of the parameters used in the relevant literature may be indicative of the complexity of the surface roughness, especially when this is applied in various biomaterials including the biological materials surfaces. In the case of enamel surface morphology following stripping, it could be that an overall decreased Ra, which implies a generally smooth surface, may be accompanied by an increased Rmax, which would indicate that the isolated presence of deep grooves. Thus, the use of roughness factors indiscriminately and without reference to the nature of the measured surface and associated physical and biological phenomena, cannot provide an insight into the issue of enamel surface roughness. In as much, the lack of any roughness parameter as an indicator of the extent of enamel surface alterations imposed by grinding and polishing, cannot withstand any scrutiny as to the soundness and clinical relevance of the method of study. A proposed technique to bypass the lack of data on this topic, pertain to the application of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) which is capable of furnishing crucial information on the surface alteration of enamel including all three roughness parameters. AFM may be applied to studies of phenomena such as abrasion, adhesion, cleaning, corrosion, etching, friction, and polishing because of its capacity to provide images of the surface in atomic resolution along with the special features such as surface roughness (Habelitz et al., 2001). 29 HELLENIC ORTHODONTIC REVIEW 2002 ñ VOLUME 5 ¢ONTIKH £O ET OP E§ ™ 1963 ¢O §A A PEI AI X. °KIOKA Î·È £.

GIOKA and T. ELIADES Interproximal enamel reduction (stripping): indications and enamel surface effects PROTECTION OF THE P R O X I M ∞ L LY- R E D U C E D TEETH The rough enamel surface, that stripping unavoidably creates, raises serious concerns about the potential risk of carries and periodontal inflammation; the latter may derive from the location of the majority of furrows confined in the cervical region of the crown. Fluoridation of the stripped enamel protects the surface from demineralization and the possible consequent lesions and is recommended by most authors (El-Mangoury et al., 1991; Joseph et al., 1992). The application of sealants on stripped enamel surfaces has been suggested by some investigators to eliminate the danger of caries lesions (Sheridan and Ledoux, 1989). However, the use of sealants in the proximal areas is not a straightforward task, since the quality of sealing may be poor because it is difficult to achieve dry conditions in the subgingival area. Furthermore, the control of removal of excessive resin and the biocompatibility of the sealer are questionable (Jost-Brinkmann et al., 1991). Finally, sealing would probably delay remineralization of the grinded enamel surface that is otherwise expected to occur within a period of nine months, with proper oral hygiene (El-Mangoury et al., 1991).
