1. How and where can I get WAMkeys?

Nothing could be simpler.Take a look at the 'Distributors' section on our website. With our large network of regional distributors you can contact someone directly in your area. If we do not yet have a distributor there, you can order and pay for your instruments directly through our website.

2. Isn't it faster to cut the crown, and then make a new crown ?

No problem. But, even if you make a new prosthesis, isn't it better to use the old one as a temporary one, especially if it is a wide bridge? Isn't it better to avoid using lots of burs and wearing contra-angle hand-pieces to remove it?

3. But the hole damages the crown, and so can I use the prosthesis again?

Since the dentist no longer needs to alter or even perforate its essential areas, the crown is not irreparably damaged (see explanations). Once the small entry window is filled, the prosthesis can fullfill all it's essential functions:
- occlusion
- contact with adjacent teeth
- waterproof
- cosmetic
In many cases, a simple repair is enough, and it can be made right after the removal with  composite.
Generally, the whole operation lasts less than half an hour, the ease of repair being comparable to the lingual filling/covering of a screw through crowns on an implant.

4. Does it work on Porcelain Fused to Metal?

Our technique is quick and easy to manage. After a few training removals, it is possible to save more than 80% of PFMs. It's merely a question of habit, skill and patience. Follow the instructions for use you will receive with your instruments, and you'll make it !

5. Is WAMkey® under guarantee?

Of course, WAMkey® is guaranteed as long as it has been used according to its protocol of use. The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and the non-conformity of raw materials. It is not guaranteed for ANY mishandle fracture that does not correspond to a defect. You will quickly discover that thanks to the reduced friction during crown removal, there is no need to force the instruments. Many skilful users (especially endodontists) have been using WAMkey® for years without any problems or incidents of breakage.

6. Why do I need 3 instruments?

As illustrated by these animations, you should always start working with the smallest instrument in order to get as close as possible to the tooth's vertical axis. But if this instrument is too small, it will spin inside the cavity. Then, the bigger instruments will certainly be useful. These 2 first instruments should always be used with no more than 2 fingers. But in some situations, especially big molars, you will need more strength if the crown is tightly adjusted. You will then enlarge the cavity to insert the 3rd instrument that is 40 times stronger than the other ones. In fact, with only one WAMkey®, You would not be able to remove every crown. Nevertheless, instruments are sold individually for eventual replacements.
