Fig. 3 Crown Spreader
The Fig. 3 Crown Spreader is a single-ended hand instrument with a flat chisel-like working end used as a wedge to open the cement gap between a crown and the prepared tooth, or between adjacent fixed units. The broad flat blade spreads luxating force evenly across the margin, reducing the risk of point-load fractures on the restoration that can occur with a narrow hook. Equate Instruments builds the spreader from polished surgical stainless steel with a heavy tapered octagonal handle for confident digital pressure. The monobloc construction is fully autoclavable and suits chairside removal of provisional crowns, fractured single units, and small bridges where a wedging action is preferable to a thumb-screw plier.

Universal Crown Remover
The Universal Crown Remover is a heavy, single-ended instrument for breaking the cement seal on cast and provisional crowns. The broad pear-shaped handle gives the clinician the hand volume and mechanical advantage of an elevator, while the slim angled shank terminates in a small hooked working tip that engages the margin of the crown. Rocking pressure applied through the handle transfers cleanly to the tip and lifts the crown away from the abutment. Equate Instruments forges the body in solid stainless steel for rigidity and long service life. The instrument is corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable, and supplied non-sterile for processing through the clinic's routine sterilisation cycle. Equally useful for prosthodontic recementation appointments and chairside retreatment.

Crown Spreader Pliers 17 cm
The Crown Spreader Pliers are a 17 cm reverse-action plier used to break the cement seal on cast crowns by applying a controlled outward force at the crown margin. A pair of small hooked beaks engage the lingual and buccal margins, and when the handles are squeezed the beaks move apart rather than together, spreading the crown off the abutment. The long serrated handles give the clinician firm grip even when wet. Equate Instruments finishes the plier in forged stainless steel with a smooth box-joint pivot. The body is corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable, and supplied non-sterile so the clinic can process it through its routine sterilisation workflow.

Crown Removing Pliers
These Crown Removing Pliers lift cemented cast crowns and provisional crowns from the abutment once the cement seal is broken. The angled beak carries a small serrated pad on the inner face that bites into the occlusal or incisal surface of the crown, while the opposing straight jaw rests against the margin. Squeezing the handles pulls the crown axially off the abutment with controlled, repeatable force. Equate Instruments builds the plier in forged stainless steel with tapered arms and a smooth box-joint pivot. The tool is corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable, and supplied non-sterile for processing through the clinic's routine sterilisation workflow.

Crown Gripper 16 cm (TC, Gold Rings)
The Crown Gripper is a 16 cm scissor-handled instrument for grasping cemented cast and provisional crowns during removal and recementation. The curved working tip carries a tungsten carbide insert with fine cross-serrations that bite into the occlusal surface of the crown without slipping, even when the field is wet with saliva or cement residue. Finger rings finished in gold-coloured electroplate identify it as a TC instrument at a glance in the tray. Equate Instruments forges the shanks in stainless steel with a smooth box-joint pivot for repeatable closure. The instrument is corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable, and supplied non-sterile for processing through the clinic's routine sterilisation workflow.

Incisor Crown Remover Pliers with Rubber Tips 14 cm
The Incisor Crown Remover Pliers are a 14 cm specialist plier for gripping anterior crowns during removal without chipping ceramic or marring the labial face. Both jaws carry interchangeable silicone rubber tips on tension screws so the clinician can adjust the grip distance to suit the incisor being treated. The retentive rubber faces protect the crown while still transferring enough force to pull it axially off the abutment. From Equate Instruments, the stainless steel body is forged with a smooth box-joint pivot, balanced arms, and a coiled return wire that keeps the plier open between squeezes. The instrument is corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable, and supplied non-sterile for processing through the clinic's routine sterilisation workflow.

Furrer Copper Ring Removing Forceps, Straight 16 cm
The Furrer Copper Ring Removing Forceps are a straight, 16 cm instrument for lifting copper or stainless impression rings off a prepared abutment after an impression has been taken. The fine straight beaks engage the occlusal edge of the ring, and a thumbscrew on the shank adjusts the opening width so the clinician can dial in the exact grip distance for the ring being removed before squeezing the forceps closed. Equate Instruments forges the body in stainless steel with tapered arms, a smooth box-joint pivot, and a corrosion-resistant finish. The instrument is fully autoclavable and is supplied non-sterile so the clinic can process it through its routine sterilisation workflow.

Telescope Crown Forceps
The Telescope Crown Forceps are a prosthodontic instrument for breaking the cement seal between a telescope secondary crown and its primary coping. The fine paired beaks engage both sides of the telescope crown, and a thumbscrew on the shank presets the closing distance so each squeeze applies controlled, repeatable force along the long axis of the crown. Long serrated handles give reliable grip through the removal stroke, even when the field is wet. Equate Instruments forges the body in stainless steel with a smooth box-joint pivot. The instrument is corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable, and supplied non-sterile for processing through the clinic's routine sterilisation workflow.

Crown Remover Pliers - Angled with Rubber-Retentive Jaws, 15.5 cm
The Crown Remover Pliers provide a controlled manual grip for removing cemented crowns, provisional crowns, and cast restorations. The angled beaks close onto the crown through replaceable rubber-retentive pads that protect enamel and porcelain from marking while transferring removal force. A knurled stainless-steel body with cross-hatched handle grips improves wet-field control, and a thumb-screw across the shanks lets the clinician dial in jaw tension before seating the pliers on the crown. Fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile by Equate Instruments, it is suited to everyday crown-removal workflows.

Universal Crown Remover Plier 14.5 cm
The Universal Crown Remover Plier is a 14.5 cm manual instrument designed to grip the occlusal surface or margin of a full or partial crown and lever it off the preparation in a single, controlled action. The compact angled beaks give purchase on ceramic, metal or composite restorations without slipping onto adjacent tissue. The handles are fabricated in stainless steel with a smooth finish; colour-toned grip ends provide visual identification in a tray setup. Equate Instruments supplies the plier non-sterile so it can be processed through the clinic's standard steam sterilisation cycle.

Crown Remover Forceps - Left
This left-offset crown remover forceps is a manual instrument with hooked beaks designed to engage the margin or occlusal surface of a posterior crown on the left side of the arch, where a straight plier cannot gain leverage. A controlled squeeze converts hand pressure into an axial lifting force that removes the crown with minimal disturbance to adjacent tissues. The stainless-steel handles feature a ridged anti-slip grip for confident wet handling. Equate Instruments supplies the forceps non-sterile so it can be processed through the clinic's standard steam sterilisation cycle.

Crown Remover Forceps - Right
This right-offset crown remover forceps is a manual instrument with hooked beaks designed to engage the margin or occlusal surface of a posterior crown on the right side of the arch, where a straight plier cannot gain leverage. A controlled squeeze converts hand pressure into an axial lifting force that removes the crown with minimal disturbance to adjacent tissues. The stainless-steel handles feature a ridged anti-slip grip for confident wet handling.
