As a precision Dental Crown Remover, the Crown-Tractor minimizes remake costs and protects patient provisionals throughout every stage of restorative treatment. Its intelligent combination of polymer jaw protection and diamond-powder grip makes it uniquely effective where conventional pliers fall short.

Clinical Use

The Crown-Tractor grips a provisional crown or bridge between its polymer jaws, with DIATRAC powder on the tips for hold, so the restoration can be lifted off without cutting it.
