As a dentist for more than three decades, I have purchased, evaluated, and experimented with many dental instruments over the years.
Many are poorly designed, inefficient, and not properly intended for the procedure. That being said, I always come back to these three instruments, over and over again – as they have become the cornerstone of my practice.
#1: Xpanders™
Stop Luxating and start Xpanding in your practice. These elevator-type instruments make extractions easier, less traumatic, and are bone-preserving. The double-pronged, diamond grip action of Xpanders™, allows for a stable two point contact between the crest of bone and the neck of the tooth. One of the prongs acts as a purchase point by entering a quarter to a half millimeter into the bone or PDL space, while the other prong swings around to push the tooth laterally. Along with the 301 straight elevator, tooth movement in two dimensions is achieved, which as you know, is critical to any extraction.
Atraumatic socket expander.
#2: TempOff®
Temporary Crown Remover
TempOff® is a powerful, revolutionary temporary crown remover that allows for higher incisal positioning so forces are transmitted to the temporary, not the tooth. This is way more efficient and faster as well – usually takes 2-3 seconds! The 4-points of contact give you solid, stable lock on to any provisional in the most efficient zone – the upper 1/3. No slipping, no cutting off temps!
Many Dentists are now switching to TempOff® as their new standard in temporary crown removal procedures.
#3: Max Crown Spreader™
Permanent Crown Remover
Max Crown Spreader™ is “the” 1-minute crown remover. Use on all crowns. The multi-directional tips allow you to approach from any angle or any direction. This gives you more power to flare the crown and break its cement contact. The handle is also extra long to give you better access to posterior regions.
I would honestly feel lost if I walked into the office and my Top 3 were not available for use. I can not run my practice without them!
