- Double-ended sickle scaler designed for implant maintenance
Uses:
- Implant maintenance:
- Specifically used for the maintenance and debridement of dental implants
- Posterior scaling:
- For safely removing calculus and plaque from the mesial and distal surfaces of posterior implants
- Subgingival debridement:
- The thin, delicate tips and shank bends allow for access and cleaning in subgingival areas around implants
Implant Safety:
- Titanium tips are crucial for implant maintenance
- Other metal scalers should not be used on implants, as they can cause surface scratches that lead to plaque retention and potential implant failure
Features:
-
Langer #1-2 tips:
- Features tips with bends similar to a 1/2 Gracey curette
- The terminal shank is 1mm in diameter and 9mm long, with a blade width of 0.9mm
- Titanium Tips:
- Tips are made of titanium to prevent scratching or damaging implant surfaces, as titanium is softer than the metals used in traditional scalers
- Tips have a purple tint for easy identification as implant-safe
- DuraLite Handle:
- The lightweight handle provides improved tactile sensitivity and reduces hand fatigue during use
- Application:
- Primarily used for the mesial and distal surfaces of posterior implants
- Its specific angulation makes it well-suited for posterior implants
