IPR safety limit

Maximum safe interproximal reduction per contact point is 0.5 mm. Exceeding this risks enamel damage, sensitivity, and caries susceptibility. Values approaching or exceeding this limit are flagged below.

Correction requirements

IPR and restorative build-up needed to achieve ideal Bolton ratios. Red values exceed the 0.5 mm/tooth safety limit.
