Area of Science:

  • Restorative Dentistry
  • Dental Materials Science

Background:

  • Cement removal after placing splinted crowns can be challenging.
  • Excess cement can lead to interproximal damage and complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a simple and effective technique for cement removal between splinted crowns.
  • To prevent damage to the interproximal crown surfaces during cement cleanup.

Main Methods:

  • Tying dental floss with a large-diameter yarn portion around the embrasure of splinted crowns prior to cementation.
  • Pulling the floss through the embrasure before the cement reaches its final set.

Main Results:

  • Successful and complete removal of excess cement from between splinted crowns.
