Sharp dents are one of the few dents that most often cannot be removed via paintless dent repair. These dents occur along the body lines of the car and are often deeper than round dents. They are also tighter than round dents, making them harder to repair, especially if they are in a difficult spot.

Currently, there are 3 types of PDR technics, which make use of 3 different tools: levers or rods, suction cups (or hot melt adhesives) and electromagnetic induction. Depending on the size and location of the dent, one technique or another is applied.
