Methods to preclude aspiration or swallowing of dental appliances.
A technique which precludes the swallowing of dental restorations during fitting and cementation has been described. An alternative technique is to spot-weld a small loop or wire to the finished crown. Dental floss may be attached to the loop. Another method is to attach a piece of unwaxed floss to the completed crown with Eastman adhesive 910. The floss is removed after the restoration is cemented.
