Product Description
- Strauss Z12S/SF Needle IPR Diamond Bur is designed for controlled interproximal reduction (IPR) in orthodontic procedures.
- The Z12S Super Fine (SF) configuration provides an IPR range from 0.20 mm minimum to 0.45 mm maximum, according to the Strauss catalogue.
- Its slender needle-shaped working profile provides access to interproximal contact areas.
- Designed by Dr. Yoav Mazor.
- The special diamond coating is intended to support controlled enamel reduction.
- Working according to the tooth axis is important for helping prevent uneven or angled reduction and for maintaining better visibility of the working area.
