GC PLIERS has not been evaluated by Clinical Consultants of DENTAL ADVISOR. It was chosen as a Clinical Problem Solver by consensus of the Editors.

Problem

Many dentists and assistants use a pair of hemostats for removing provisional restorations. They don’t grip crowns well and may easily chip or fracture restorations.

Solution

GC PLIERS are well-constructed stainless steel forceps designed to easily remove and handle indirect restorations. The working ends are rasped, so they grab into restorations well. They also come with rubber pads that can be snapped on the working ends to provide cushion and grip when needed. The pliers effectiveness is enhanced when paired with an abrasive powder.
