Flexible Clearance Guide by bella de st. claire
Did you ever want to know if you have enough clearance when doing a crown prep? How thick do you need your metal? What about porcelain? Do you have enough reduction? This handy guide can easily be inserted between your prep and the opposing occlusion to measure your reduction to perfection! No more ‘eyeing’ your dentistry to make sure you have enough clearance.

This ‘octopus’ will take the following measurements:
0.5mm
1.0mm
1.5mm
2.0mm
2.5mm
3.0mm

Simply place the measurement you need in between the tooth in question and have your patient or model bite down. You have clearance when the rubber guide is not pinched in the mouth. Ensure proper reduction every time!

This item is used, but works great! (and still in great condition)
