Prize
– Two ContactEZ Hygienist Strips. I haven’t tried this product yet myself, but it looks promising. I’m receiving some samples in a few weeks from Practicon Dental, so I decided to just make it this month’s giveaway prize. Here’s the description from the manufacturer, “ContactEZ Hygienist Strips are non-abrasive, flexible, stainless steel strips that quickly and easily remove coffee, tea, tobacco, and red wine stains from teeth. The single-handed, ergonomic strips are thinner than dental floss and efficiently clean without damaging enamel. Polishing perforations and serrated edges are perfect for interproximal tartar removal. Safe to use on crowns and veneers. Each pack contains 8 autoclavable strips.”

Autoclavable??? Very interesting. It makes it more cost effective to do it that way for sure but how long do they last?
We’ll see. I’m hoping they perform well and last a decent amount of time. If so, it may be a game changer. Even thin sickles sometimes struggle to get into tight contacts.
Pick me! 😀
I am already a subscriber. I’m enjoying your blog & the topics.
Thanks…
These could be amazing! I just started at a new office and the Doctor wanted me to remove ALL the staining on a heavy smoker. He had inter proximal staining and it was seriously taking forever. These strips would have saved me so much time.
These look amazing!!!! I have used “finishing strips” in the past and they work great for interproximal stain. Because these are autoclavable, and can be used many times-they will be interesting to try. Thanks for the info Mark!!
I would love to have more experience with these. It seems like they would be effective and the fact that they are autoclavable is a bonus. Thanks, Mark!
woulf love to try them!
These look interesting! I’m excited to try them.
Very interesting! I’ve never seen these before. I would love to try it out.

I would love to try or hear from those that get the samples on how well they work!
Can not wait to see how they work!!!

Looks cool, would love to see how it performs.

These sound like something I could definitely use! Especially for patients with tenacious interproxiaml stain! Do they help removed calculus as well!?
According to the company, yes, but we’ll see.
Looks interesting! Would love to try.
This would make my job so much easier and gentler for my patients who have lots of interproximal staining. I’m excited for this new product!!

“Love”
I would love to try this!
I’ve never seen these before, but they seem awesome!! I would love to try them.
love this idea! we all need an easy way to remove stubborn stain!
Interesting product! I’m curious about efficacy and would love to try to see if it would be beneficial in practice ☺
Looks promising not only for the stain removal but for that little spicule of calculus an instrument is still too wide to get to.
These look so interesting! I would love to try them!!
Sounds awesome, I wonder if it really works!
Neat concept! Love that they are sterilizable/reusable, that they have a little holder (making it easier to use than finishing strips), and how cool is it that they are capable of removing IP calculus that sickles can leave behind!
Very interesting product!
Pick me!
I’m game to try new things! I would love to see how they work and how long they last! Let me know if I’m a winner!!! ???
Look promising! Would be interested in trying! 🙂
I would love to try these on my patients. I hope I get lucky!!!
Hi Katherine,
You are the winner! Congrats!
Can’t wait to try and hope to order tomorrow
I’m really interested in trying these babies out!
Looks promising….I’d love to give them a try!
Sounds like a very helpful little tool to make a hygienist’s life a little bit easier!
Need to try these out and tell RDH’s of the world .
Would like to try these!
Would like to try before ordering.
I would love to try these!
I am open to trying new products! I love it when I find products that help to increase the quality of care I can give my patients!
I would love to have these at the office. My patients could surely benefit from these !!!
We have just started using these. They work great. Like the finishing strips, you have to be watching the edge closely so you don’t get the papilla. We have one pack to share between four hygienists. Extras would be awesome! They do last through several uses. Eventually they will get bent and just not work very well.
I have been researching these and telling my fellow professionals about them! I would be very excited to try one! They don’t believe me that they do not reduce the contact size. Help me prove them wrong!
Excited to try these!
I would like to try
I have used these ones from someone else and they are incredible! I would love to know how to purchase these! I clicked on the link, sent me somewhere else! Thank you!!
I just tried the link and it worked for me. Here it is: http://www.practicon.com/products.asp?sku=7110627
I would LOVE to try these! Especially for that stubborn interproximal stain!
Where can we purchase these?
would love to try these on interproximal staining!
Interesting. I’ve gotta couple pts I’d be very interested in using this instrument on.
I love this! Thinner than floss? I’m sold…but please gimme so I don’t have to buy!
I have seen these but haven’t been able to try then yet. I love finishing strips and these look to be a better alternative!
Looks great! I’d love to try it! Some stains are almost impossible to remove from the contact with instruments.
Sounds amazing!
Looks very exciting to try!!
All I can say is this product looks awesome and I def got happy reading about it. Anyone of us would be luck and greatful for a product like this .
I would love to know how these work! Please pass on feed back no matter what!
Ideally sealents should be placed with a dental assistant present, but that just isn’t realistic in most dental offices these days. I would love to try this product out with dental sealents since keeping the tooth isolated and dry is the most important and difficult step of the procedure!
