"I don’t think there is a better, more reliable or predictable method for premolar and molar crown removal, it’s a life changer!"
I have been using WamKey® for many years and teach the simple technique for crown and bridge removal on my courses.
Three easy steps:
- Cut a small buccal or lingual window to accommodate the WamKey®.
- Cutting along the cement line, go as deep as the centre of the occlusal plane
- Do not use a lever action, simply rotate the Wamkey 1 and the crown un-cements
Should the WamKey® 1 rotate within the core, use the slightly larger WamKey® 2. You will only sometimes need to go up to WamKey® 3 but do have it just in case.
WamKeys are robust and autoclavable so if you buy a set (WamKeys 1,2 and 3), it will probably last your career.
I don’t think there is a better, more reliable or predictable method for premolar and molar crown removal, it’s a life changer!
WAMkey gentle crown and bridge remover
Remove bridges and crowns with ease with WAMkey. Within 2 minutes, you can remove a crown effortlessly and with no pain, with no damage to the tooth. In addition, crowns can be re-used.
Ditch outdated traditional methods
Traditional style crown removers exert excessive pressure on the ligament, stretching it and causing unnecessary trauma to the patient and potentially damaging or even extracting in the process.
WAMkey Patented action
WAMkey's removing action is patented. It allows for the crown to follow the path of least resistance, without causing pain or damage.
Without any tensile forces, traction, or sideways movemend, the crown comes away from its abutment. Basically it pushes from underneath, with no risk of fracturing the tooth or removing the build up underneath.
With WAMkey The crown or bridge are preserved
WAMkey preserve's the crown or the bridge to allow temporary or permanent re-use.
The main parts of the crown (margins, occlusal face and contact points) are preserved undamaged.
Additionaly, in many situations, the initial window can be cut with the CMV bur on the lingual face. Why is this important ?
Because after its removal, the prosthesis retains all its mechanical and aesthetic properties. You can now either make a small instant composite repair, or refer to the technician. Thus, a provisional or permanent reset is possible.
The pressure on the filling is particularly low, so that you can dismiss any risk of leakage
WAMkey explained
WAMkey saves you money and time
Traditional methods of removal are uncertain and can be time consuming and expensive.
As the entry window in the crown is very small, WAMkey saves precious time. In addtion crowns can be re-used provisionally or permanently.
