Technique for removing cement between a fixed prosthesis and its substructure.
Failed restorations diagnosed with salvageable and subsequently reusable metal substructures that demand their separation can be clinically challenging to undertake without the risk of damaging either the super- or substructures. This article describes a technique to safely separate them from each other in order for the respective substructure to be reused in the fabrication of a newly reconstructed restoration and for the existing restoration to be reused as a provisional where appropriately indicated.
