A safe technique for removal of provisionally cemented crowns.
A technique is presented for removing full-cast crowns and porcelain crowns that have been temporarily or provisionally cemented. A rubber dam retainer clamp with rubber dam attached is placed on the crown and clamped near its margins. Steiglitz forceps are used to apply pressure and leverage. The assembled unit is removed with the Steiglitz and safely removes the loosened crown from the mouth.
