Educational Objectives
By attending this webinar you will learn how to:
-
Identify indications and contraindications for IPR and determine appropriate locations and amounts of enamel reduction.
-
Evaluate tooth anatomy, enamel thickness, tooth shape, and periodontal considerations to plan safe and effective IPR.
-
Compare IPR instrumentation and techniques, including strips, burs, rotating disks, reciprocating systems, and oscillating disk technology.
-
Apply a systematic approach to controlled IPR, including contact opening, progressive reduction, measurement, recontouring, finishing, and polishing while minimizing common complications.
Abstract
This course reviews the principles and clinical application of interproximal reduction (IPR) for creating orthodontic space, managing tooth-size discrepancies, and improving tooth shape and contacts. Topics include tooth anatomy, enamel thickness, periodontal considerations, treatment planning, measurement, instrumentation, finishing, and polishing. The course also explores the evolution of IPR instrumentation and introduces smartIPR, a contemporary oscillating-disk approach designed to provide controlled, progressive interproximal reduction.

Early in his career, Dr. Florman founded and led the Academy of Dental Therapeutics and Stomatology, an at-home, self-study dental continuing education company that grew to become one of the largest providers of dental continuing education in the United States. He later sold the company to Dental Economics Magazine, allowing him to focus on his orthodontic practice in Santa Monica, California.

Most recently, Dr. Florman turned his attention to interproximal reduction (IPR), inventing an innovative technology designed to provide clinicians with greater precision, control, and efficiency when performing IPR. These three technologies are now distributed through EverSmile and Henry Schein, bringing this new approach to orthodontists and dental professionals across the United States.
At heart, Dr. Florman is an inventor who enjoys identifying everyday clinical challenges and developing practical solutions to solve them. Outside of dentistry, his greatest passion is spending time with his wife and three young children.
