Wamkey Crown Remover
Easy solution to a difficult problem: the WAMkey crown remover

Crowns are one of the most basic dental restorations. Removal of crowns is commonplace in virtually any dental office. One would think that this should be a simple, predictable, routine procedure. As you have surely discovered, that is not always the case.

Removing a dental crown by traditional methods takes considerable effort, and usually physical strength. It also causes the patient pain or discomfort, and risks fracturing the abutment as well as, naturally, ruining the crown. That is assuming the crown comes off.

You've probably had it happen. If not, it will. A crown that simply won't come off can turn this supposedly simple process into an impossible situation. Every dentist has their tips and tricks for removing stubborn crowns. Maybe you irrigate with hot water, or use brute strength combined with a gentle rocking motion. Many dentists admit to using sticky candy as a "last resort" crown remover. Isn't there a better way? The answer is yes!

WAMkey is rapidly becoming the crown remover of choice. It quickly separates the restoration from the abutment tooth, with virtually no effort on your part, or discomfort to the patient, and minimal damage to the crown. You can re-use it as a temporary or even permanent restoration. With this amazing tool, you can even remove short span fixed partials – and keep them intact!

To use a WAMkey, prepare a window on the crown's lateral aspect, just large enough to insert the key. Simply place the key on the occlusal surface of the abutment tooth, between it and the crown. A gentle clockwise rotating motion lifts the crown effortlessly and safely. The specially designed tip of the WAMkey prevents the force of leverage from being applied.

It is available in three different sizes, and there is a starter kit with all three. If you are unsure what size is appropriate, start with the smallest. Try key number one first. If it spins freely, without dislodging the crown try key number two, then three. When you have the right size, decementation should be achieved easily, with only a quarter turn. The same procedure can be used for any type of crown, with any type of cement.

WAMkey will be one of the simplest to use, and most effective tools in your office. Your patients will love the expedited, painless process – and so will you! Order your WAMkey today! They are available for purchase online, from Physics Forceps.
