Facilitated cement removal technique between splinted crowns.
A technique for facilitating cement removal between splinted crowns is described. The technique involves tying dental floss with the large-diameter yarn portion around the embrasure of the splinted crown before cementing, and pulling it through before the cement has reached a final set. This simple, quick technique achieves removal of cement without damage to the interproximal crown surface.
