The post bonding review phase of ceramic veneers requires concentration and clinical precision to ensure the success of the prosthetic restorative treatment. Inspection and careful removal of any residual cement, especially in interproximal areas, is essential to maintain the biological health of periodontal tissues, the stability of contact points, and the quality of marginal adaptation.
Garrison® FitStrip™ abrasive strips offer an effective, controlled, and minimally invasive solution for performing this step with precision. Thanks to their thin, flexible, and modular design, they allow easy access to interproximal spaces and enable refinement ahead of the final polishing and glossing phases. During this step, both polishing and glossing are crucial to achieving optimal results in esthetics and periodontal health.
A small instrument that makes a big clinical difference: integrating FitStrip into the post cementation protocol means improving the quality of the outcome and increasing the predictability of ceramic veneer treatments.

Figure 3: Thanks to its minimal thickness, comfortable plastic holder and, most importantly, the ability to make the strip more or less flexible, FitStrip can perfectly follow the mesial and distal contours of the teeth. |
