Soft Silicon Pads 20 for Dental Crown Removing Piers – WSI Grip

Description

Product Overview

The Soft Silicon Pads are engineered specifically for dental professionals who require a dependable, non‑abrasive interface between their crown removing pliers and the tooth structure. Crafted from high‑grade medical silicone, each pad delivers a soft yet firm surface that conforms to the contours of a crown, minimizing slippage while preventing damage to enamel or underlying dentin. The pack includes twenty individual pads, each measuring approximately 6 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness, providing ample coverage for a wide range of crown sizes. Weighing only 5 ounces in total, the pads are lightweight enough to be stored conveniently in any instrument tray without adding bulk. Their silicone composition is resistant to common sterilization methods, allowing for repeated autoclave cycles without loss of elasticity or shape. Compatibility is guaranteed with all WSI‑branded crown remover instruments, as well as most standard pliers used in restorative dentistry. The pads are designed for quick snap‑on replacement, enabling clinicians to maintain uninterrupted workflow during patient treatment.

Usage

These pads excel in a variety of clinical settings, from routine crown extractions in private practice to high‑volume procedures in academic dental clinics. When a crown needs to be removed, the practitioner simply selects a fresh silicone pad, aligns it with the crown remover tip, and applies gentle pressure. The pad’s high‑friction surface ensures that the plier tip grips the crown securely, allowing for controlled rotation and removal without excessive force. This reduces the risk of accidental tooth fracture, especially in patients with compromised periodontal support. The pads are also suitable for use on porcelain‑fused‑metal crowns, all‑ceramic restorations, and even temporary crowns, thanks to their adaptable softness. For infection control, the pads can be placed in a sterilization pouch and autoclaved at 121 °C for 30 minutes, after which they retain their original dimensions and performance characteristics. Their reusable nature makes them an economical choice for practices that perform multiple crown removals per day.
