Laschal Crown Delivery Forceps

Laschal crown delivery forceps let a dentist pick up a finished crown, carry it to the mouth and place it without touching the margins. That control matters on delivery day, because a dropped crown can be lost in the throat or chipped on the floor. This is a single model, so there are no options to choose between.

From Lab Box to Prepared Tooth

First, the crown comes out of its lab model with the forceps. Next, the clinician seats it on the preparation to check fit, contacts and occlusion. Then it comes back out for adjustment, cleaning and cement. Throughout these steps the forceps give a steady hold, so the crown stays oriented the right way.

Why a Dedicated Crown Instrument Helps

Cotton pliers can hold a crown, but they slip easily on a polished surface. In contrast, delivery forceps are made for this job, so the grip suits the crown shape. As a result, the try-in feels calmer for both the dentist and the patient.

Protecting Ceramic and Metal Surfaces

Squeeze only as hard as needed to hold the restoration. Heavy pressure is unnecessary and may mark a delicate glaze. Also, keep the jaws clean of cement during the visit, since set cement makes the grip uneven.

Pairing With Other Crown Tools

Offices often keep crown delivery forceps beside a crown remover and a seating instrument. For example, an assistant might lay all three out on the cementation tray. That way every stage of the visit has a tool ready.

The forceps are stainless steel, and our Atlanta team examines the jaws and joint in the United States prior to dispatch. They are shipped non-sterile, therefore wash and sterilize them before the first delivery appointment. Your Laschal forceps are also warranted three years against manufacturing defects in the joint and jaws.

See ASTM F899 for the steel standard, and browse restorative and diagnostic instruments. For crowns that need more grip force, look at the pressure-controlled crown forceps. Our FAQs cover common questions.
