Surface Precision in Orthodontics: A Comprehensive Analysis of Interproximal Reduction Methods Using Atomic Force Microscopy
The choice of IPR method significantly influences the surface roughness of mandibular teeth. Manual IPR appears to yield the smoothest surfaces, while laser-assisted IPR may result in increased roughness. These findings have implications for clinical decision-making in orthodontic practices.
