Crown Removers
BusinessMed® Crown Removers take off crowns and bridge retainers in one of three ways: impact removers pull the crown with a jolt at the margin, slot instruments spread or lever a crown that has been sectioned with a bur, and gripping instruments hold the crown so it can be rocked and lifted. The range covers all three.

Types of dental crown removers
Impact crown removers
The automatic crown remover loosens temporary and cemented crowns and bridge retainers with repeated short impulses at the margin; the Morrell spring-loaded crown remover #942 is the back-action type, pulling along the tooth axis where its tip can hook the margin — harder to apply on posterior teeth.
Slot instruments for sectioned crowns
These work only on a crown that has been cut through with a bur: the crown distender #108, the #134 crown remover with 45° offset and the crown spreading forceps #7, which split and flare the sectioned crown.
Gripping instruments
For crowns intact enough to hold: the crown removing pliers #2708 for provisional crowns, the crown removing process forceps for single crowns and bridge retainers, the crown tractor #10 with a padded grip around the body of the restoration, and the Wynman crown gripper #6.
How to choose a crown remover
- Intact or sectioned. Gripping instruments and impact removers work on an intact crown; slot instruments need the crown sectioned first.
- Temporary or permanent. Pliers and the crown tractor suit provisional crowns; distenders and spreading forceps open sectioned permanent crowns.
- Position. Back-action force runs along the tooth axis and is harder to apply on posterior teeth; the #134 offset blade reaches any crown surface.
- Single crown or bridge. Process forceps and the automatic remover also take bridge retainers — the job dental crown and bridge removers are named for.
What is a crown remover dental use?
Removing temporary crowns between appointments, removing cemented crowns and bridges for replacement, and opening sectioned permanent crowns — the work all dental crown removers share.
