Pressure-Controlled Crown Forceps

Description

Pressure-Controlled Crown Forceps

Small crowns slip easily from gloved fingers. A dropped crown can end up in the throat or on the floor. These crown forceps give the dentist a secure, measured grip on the restoration. That grip holds as the piece travels between tray, mouth and bench. Intrace USA, an Atlanta distributor, sources this single stainless steel pattern. Each one is hand-checked in the United States.

What Pressure-Controlled Means in Practice

The catalogue names this pattern for controlled pressure, so the goal is a hold that is firm without being crushing. That matters because porcelain margins and thin temporaries chip under careless force. Also, a steady grip lets you rotate the crown to view each margin under the light. We do not publish a jaw dimension for this model, so please compare the product photos with your current instrument.

Try-In, Adjustment and Seating Checks

First, lift the crown from the model and carry it to the prepared tooth. Next, test the fit, then withdraw it for adjustment at the chair or in the lab. When contacts need refining, the forceps hold the piece while you mark and relieve the high spots. In addition, they help you place a temporary crown with cement already loaded.

Keeping the Jaws Clean Between Cases

Cement, impression material and polishing paste tend to build up in the serrations. So brush the jaws while the residue is still soft, and check that the tips close evenly. Because the forceps ship non-sterile, put them through your full cleaning and steam cycle before they touch a crown in the mouth. If the joint or a jaw fails through a fault of its making, a warranty window lasting three years against manufacturing defects means we send replacement forceps.

Every piece is made from stainless steel that meets ASTM F899 for surgical instruments. You can see related restorative tools in Diagnostic, Periodontal and Restorative Instruments, add a Wynman Crown Gripper for posterior crowns, or check our frequently asked questions.
