3M Polycarbonate Crowns Kit
A kit of polycarbonate temporary crowns designed for easy trimming and flexible adjustment, protecting the vitality of the prepared tooth and surrounding gum health.
The 3M Polycarbonate Crowns Kit provides dentists with an assortment of polycarbonate temporary crowns used to protect a prepared tooth while a permanent restoration, such as a crown or bridge, is being fabricated in the laboratory. The polycarbonate material is designed for easy trimming and flexible adjustment at the chairside, allowing the clinician to shape the crown to fit the individual preparation without excessive effort.
Beyond providing esthetics for the patient during the interim period, these temporary crowns are intended to protect the vitality and pulp of the tooth underneath, maintain the health of the surrounding gingival tissue, and shield the preparation margins from contamination or damage. Supplying a kit rather than a single size gives the practice a range of crown forms on hand, reducing the need to reorder mid-procedure.
This kit suits general dentists who regularly place temporary crowns on anterior or posterior teeth ahead of a permanent restoration.
