Intensiv ApproxOpener 8 µm
Ultra-Fine Oscillating Strip for Adhesive Flash Removal & Initial Contact Opening

Intensiv ApproxOpener is an ultra-fine, non-diamond or 8 µm diamond-coated stainless-steel strip designed for swift removal of orthodontic adhesive flash, excess luting cement and plaque deposits adjacent to brackets, bands and proximal margins. Operating at 0.9 mm linear stroke / 20 000 osc·min⁻¹ in the Intensiv Swingle® or any EVA-type handpiece, ApproxOpener cleans and polishes without altering tooth morphology or injuring soft tissues. Available in non-diamond, double-sided diamond and one-sided diamond versions for maximum clinical versatility.

Ključ Prednosti

• Ultra-fine 8 µm grit (diamond versions) eliminates resin flash and cement film without scratching enamel.
• Non-diamond variant (AO2018/3) mechanically dislodges soft plaque and polishing paste residue.
• One-sided option targets a single surface while shielding the adjacent tooth.
• Central working zone plus smooth edges prevent cervical grooves and papilla trauma.
• 0.05 mm stainless-steel core slips easily through narrow embrasures.
• Autoclavable & reusable; multilayer natural diamond maintains efficiency through many 134 °C cycles.

Kliničke indikacije

• Removal of adhesive flash after bracket bonding or debonding.
• Cleaning excess resin or glass-ionomer cement around orthodontic bands.
• Elimination of marginal cement film after crown or veneer cementation.
• Initial micro-opening of tight contacts before IPR strip insertion.
