Essential Tools for Dental Implant Procedures

In this Shatkin F.I.R.S.T. Monday Morning Minute, Dr. Todd Shatkin shares a valuable tip of the week for dental practitioners. He highlights two essential instruments that have saved him time and effort in his practice: the spring-loaded crown remover and the crown twister, both from Carl Schumacher Dental.

Dr. Shatkin explains how the spring-loaded crown remover is perfect for easily removing temporary or loose crowns and bridges. With a simple hook mechanism and a spring-loaded action, it allows for quick, efficient crown removal with just one or two taps, reducing patient discomfort and making the process smoother.

The crown twister is another must-have tool. Dentists can use it by making a small slit in the crown and then twisting the instrument to loosen and remove the crown with minimal effort. Dr. Shatkin makes it a point to emphasize how these two instruments have become daily staples in his practice and recommends them to all dental professionals.
