Speed
Removal in seconds rather than multiple attempts. Magnetodynamic traction works in microseconds — what previously needed many tries now resolves quickly on temporary cementations.

01 The clinical problem
Conventional crown removal
is brute force in disguise
Cemented crowns and bridges are removed every day in dentistry — and the available tools fight the surgeon at every step. Spring-based instruments produce insufficient force. Manual hammers tire the operator and apply uncontrolled energy. Pneumatic systems require a compressor and transmit perceptible vibration. When all of these fail, burs and saws destroy the restoration — and the patient pays for a remake.
02 The Crown Remover approach
Magnetodynamic traction
without shock waves
The Crown Remover Kit threads onto the Magnetic Mallet handpiece and delivers calibrated 50-microsecond magnetodynamic traction. The traction is perfectly longitudinal — debonding the cement with reduced lateral stress on the restoration, the abutment, or the implant compared with conventional percussion. The kit is designed to enable intact removal when cement type, abutment geometry, and clinical conditions allow.
02 Six benefits
Six benefits
of magnetodynamic crown removal
One handpiece. Three tips. Six reasons crown and bridge removal becomes faster, safer, and more predictable than conventional protocols.
Lower peak forces
Schierano (2026) measured the lowest peak forces among tested instruments across 210 removal tests vs. sliding hammer and Coronaflex.
Restoration preservation
Designed to enable intact removal when cement type, abutment geometry, and clinical conditions allow. Restorations may be re-cemented when clinically appropriate.
Restoration-friendly approach
Particularly relevant when restoration preservation matters, including rigid ceramic restorations such as zirconia and lithium disilicate, subject to clinical judgment.
No learning curve, no compressor
Threads onto the Magnetic Mallet handpiece you already own. No compressor, no special maintenance, no separate device to manage.
Reduced patient discomfort
The 50-microsecond impulse is below the threshold typically perceived as vibration. No prolonged mechanical noise during the procedure.

04 The kit · 1 handpiece + 3 tips
One handpiece, three tips
one workflow
The Crown Remover Kit threads onto the Magnetic Mallet handpiece via the standard threaded coupling. Three interchangeable steel tips cover single crowns, short bridges, and longer-span bridges.
Levacorone Handpiece
Steel traction handpiece that threads onto the Magnetic Mallet via the standard threaded coupling. Develops perfectly longitudinal traction for controlled removal of cemented crowns and bridges.
3 Interchangeable Steel Tips
| Tip geometry | Indication |
|---|---|
| Single-crown tip | Single cemented crowns on natural abutments or implant-supported single crowns |
| Short-bridge tip | Short-span bridges (typically 3 units) |
| Long-span tip | Longer-span bridges with multiple abutments |
Steel construction (handpiece + tips). Autoclavable using standard sterilization protocols. Reusable; inspect tips according to standard clinical maintenance protocols. Compatible with new-generation Magnetic Mallet handpieces.

05 Clinical applications
Four clinical applications
one removal workflow
The Crown Remover Kit covers the prosthetic-removal scenarios where conventional instruments are most likely to damage the restoration or the supporting structure.
Cemented crowns — single units
Atraumatic removal of single cemented crowns on natural abutments or implant-supported single crowns. Restoration preserved for re-cementation when clinically appropriate.
Bridge removal — short and longer span
Three tip geometries cover short bridges (3 units) and longer-span bridges. Longitudinal traction prevents lateral stress on bridge components.
Zirconia and rigid-ceramic restorations
Particularly relevant when restoration preservation matters, including zirconia and lithium disilicate, subject to clinical judgment. Outcomes depend on cement type, restoration design, and the clinical scenario.
Implant-supported restorations
Crown and bridge removal on implant abutments — the specific scenario evaluated by Schierano (2026) in vitro. Designed to avoid rotary force to the implant body and minimize lateral stress on the abutment.

06 Scientific evidence
Validated by peer-reviewed research
An independent 2026 in-vitro study by the University of Turin and the Polytechnic of Turin compared three crown/bridge removal instruments — the OSSEOTOUCH Magnetic Mallet, sliding hammer, and Coronaflex — across 210 removal tests on 7 bridge geometries with temporary and permanent cement types. Study scope: cement-retained implant-supported bridge models. Generalization to other clinical scenarios requires judgment.

Key findings: Magnetic Mallet showed comparable efficiency to the sliding hammer for temporary cementations with lower peak forces. Coronaflex (pneumatic) showed lower success rates and higher forces. For permanent zinc phosphate cement, most bridges were not removable across all three instruments tested. Minimal inter-operator variability at power level 4 with the Magnetic Mallet. Study scope: cement-retained implant-supported bridge models in vitro; generalization to other clinical scenarios requires clinical judgment.

07 Frequently asked questions
Common questions
about the Crown Remover Kit
What is the Crown Remover Kit and what is it used for?
A magnetodynamic accessory for the OSSEOTOUCH Magnetic Mallet for atraumatic removal of cemented crowns and bridges. The Levacorone handpiece threads onto the Magnetic Mallet via the standard coupling and delivers calibrated longitudinal traction in 50-microsecond impulses. Three interchangeable steel tips cover single crowns, short bridges, and longer-span bridges.
Do I need the Magnetic Mallet to use the Crown Remover Kit?
Yes. The Crown Remover Kit is an accessory that requires the Magnetic Mallet handpiece. If you already own a Magnetic Mallet, the Crown Remover Kit adds a new capability without buying a new device.
Is the Crown Remover Kit autoclavable?
Yes. All components — handpiece and the three steel tips — are fully autoclavable using standard sterilization protocols. Steel construction designed for repeated sterilization cycles. Inspect tips according to standard clinical maintenance protocols.
Does it work on zirconia restorations?
Particularly relevant when restoration preservation matters, including rigid ceramic restorations such as zirconia, subject to clinical judgment. The 50-microsecond magnetodynamic impulse is too brief for sustained shock-wave transmission, supporting an approach that aims to reduce cyclic stress on the restoration during removal. Outcomes depend on cement type, restoration design, and the clinical scenario.
What clinical evidence supports the Crown Remover Kit?
Schierano et al. (2026), an independent in-vitro study by the Dental School Università di Torino, Università di Genova, and PolitoBIOMed Lab Politecnico di Torino, published in Journal of Functional Biomaterials (DOI 10.3390/jfb17010033). The study evaluated the kit specifically for cement-retained implant-supported bridge models. Across 210 removal tests on 7 bridge geometries: Magnetic Mallet showed comparable efficiency to the sliding hammer for temporary cementations with lower peak forces; Coronaflex showed lower success rates and higher forces; for permanent zinc phosphate cement, most bridges were not removable across all three instruments tested. Clinical extrapolation to other scenarios requires judgment.
Can I remove implant-supported crowns and bridges?
Yes — this scenario was specifically evaluated by Schierano (2026) for cement-retained implant-supported bridges in vitro. Longitudinal magnetodynamic traction is designed to avoid transmitting rotary force to the implant body and to minimize lateral stress on the abutment. Final outcome in clinical practice depends on abutment design, cementation, and the clinical scenario.
How does the Crown Remover Kit compare to a pneumatic crown remover (Coronaflex-class)?
No compressor required — the kit threads onto the Magnetic Mallet handpiece already in the practice. The 50-microsecond impulse is below the threshold typically perceived as vibration. In the Schierano (2026) in-vitro study, Coronaflex showed lower success rates and higher forces vs. Magnetic Mallet across the tested combinations.
What is the FDA regulatory status of the Magnetic Mallet system?
The OSSEOTOUCH Magnetic Mallet is registered with the U.S. FDA under Establishment Registration 3011922183 and product codes EIS · KDG · GEY (21 CFR 872.4565 / 878.4820). U.S. Agent: Thema USA, New York. The Crown Remover Kit is an accessory for the Magnetic Mallet system.
