When performing root canal retreatment, the dentist is faced with the task of removing the crown or core, which is an artificial object that blocks the above of the root canal. If the dentist fails to remove the crown or metalcore, especially if it is a metal restoration, it will be difficult to perform the re-root canal treatment, and happen the tooth fracture and have to be extracted. For dentists, this is a very stressful job with a lot of responsibility. Few doctors like removal.
In other countries, I have heard that root canal retreatment is not favored due to its low clinical success rate, but in Japan, root canal retreatment is not uncommon. I think it is a national trait, but there are a lot of patients who want to preserve their teeth, and dentists also prefer preservative treatment. There is also the economic reason that the cost of root canal treatment is extremely low.
In any case, for Japanese dentists, root canal retreatment is not an uncommon task in their daily clinical practice. What is the same with overseas dentists is that the removal of crowns and metal cores is an unpleasant job. Especially the metal core with a long post is depressing just to see it on the radiograph, aren’t you?
The Safe Relax Remover is what I use to remove crowns or metal cores. This is not the only tool that can be used for any removal cases, but there are always situations where it is effective, so it is a good idea to prepare for it in your office.
The claw is hooked into the gap between the tooth and the restoration (crown or metalcore) to be removed, and when the device is operational, short mechanical strokes are automatically applied for removal. The patient is received strong vibration and shock, but if the restoration is in a condition to be removed, it can be successfully removed in a very short time.
As you can see in the video, even post-cores can be removed in a very short time. The key to success is to be able to operate this remover with the nail in place. If you cannot provide a place to hook the nail, this remover is not suitable. In that case, switch to another method of removal.
I think it's a great device because when it works, it only takes a few seconds to remove!
I purchased this remover from an online retailer several years ago. Perhaps it can still be purchased today.
