What are lab & restorative accessories?

A mixed group pairing crown removal instruments with plaster handling. The Christensen crown removers come in two approaches because access dictates the instrument: a straight pattern works on anteriors, while a right-angle head is what allows a posterior crown margin to be engaged at all. The plaster knife and nipper are bench instruments for trimming set models.

How the lab & restorative accessories range is organised

Crown removal:

Christensen straight anterior, Christensen right-angle posterior.

Plaster and model work:

Plaster and compound knife, plaster nipper.

Choosing the right lab & restorative accessorie

Choose the Christensen pattern by the tooth you are working on rather than by preference — a straight remover cannot engage a posterior margin squarely, and forcing it puts the load on the abutment instead of the crown.
