Ceramic bridge recementation

[Karodpati]

My wife has a ceramic bridge which came loose! We purchased glass ionomer cement (powder and liquid) for recementation. There is a GOOD amount of OLD cement in the bridge that is not coming out. Appreciate suggestions for cleaning the OLD CURED cement.

Thank you.

I wouldn't try to cement a crown yourself. It's really not that expensive to have a dentist do it. It is also important to make sure that there is no decay on the tooth before the crown is re-cemented. To answer your question, dental clinics use air abrasion units and ultrasonic cleaners to remove the cement from dislodged crowns.
