- Posterior sickle scaler that is a variant of the standard 204 scaler
Features:
- Purpose:
- A hygiene instrument specifically designed as a posterior sickle, meaning it is used for scaling the posterior teeth
- Blades:
- Blades have a 5.5mm reach, but they are slightly thinner than the standard 204, with a width of 0.9mm compared to the standard 1.1mm
- This allows for easier and more precise subgingival access
- Shank:
- The shank is set at a 30° angle to the handle, which allows for better adaptation to the posterior teeth without requiring a fully upright finger rest
- This is slightly less angled than the 204S version, which has a 40° angle
- Double-ended:
- Provides different angles or access points on each end, which is common for dental scaler
- Material:
- Made from Nordent's XDURA stainless steel, which is cryogenically hardened to stay sharp longer and reduce the need for frequent sharpening
- Handle:
- Features a lightweight, 9.5mm diameter DuraLite Round handle, which offers excellent ergonomics and control while reducing hand fatigue
- Construction:
- The instrument is made of high-quality stainless steel and is autoclavable
- Origin:
- Manufactured in the USA
- Warranty:
- Includes a complimentary professional sharpening service from Nordent, helping to maintain the tool's performance over its lifespan
