WAMKey ®
New Crown Remover
WAMkey is a three-instrument set, which allows
you to begin with the smallest instrument to keep
preparation to a minimum. The technique is quick
and easy to perform, with most crown removals
performed in less than three minutes.
2 minutes and 2 fingers are far enough to
remove a crown and "2" reuse it!
Designed for crown
and bridge removals,
the Wamkey ® is said
to provide a quick,
easy, cost-effective and
painless alternative to
current crown-removers.
This simple-to-use device
works by dissociation,
with minimal pressure on
the supporting teeth (no
traction and no rocking
movement). Thanks to
a vertical removal line,
there is no risk of fracture
or rupture of the ligament.
Moreover, this operation
takes less than 2 minutes and
the crown can be reused in
most cases (more than 80%
of ceramics), both entailing
important savings.
