- Designed for removing moderate to heavy calculus deposits from the anterior teeth, both supragingivally and slightly subgingivally
Uses
- Anterior scaling:
- The Morse 0/00 is primarily used on the lingual and interproximal surfaces of anterior teeth
- Subgingival calculus removal:
- The fine, slender blade is excellent for navigating and removing calculus in the sulcular area and in tight interproximal areas
- Supragingival scaling:
- It is also highly effective for removing plaque and calculus from the visible surfaces of the teeth
Features
- Petite blades:
- The Morse 0/00 tips feature two small, slender Jacquette-style blades
- The miniature size is ideal for navigating tight contact areas, crowded teeth, or around orthodontic appliances
- Sickle-shaped:
- Each tip has a triangular cross-section and a pointed end, characteristic of a sickle scaler, which is effective for breaking away and removing calculus
- Double-ended and mirror-image:
- The instrument has two mirror-image working ends, providing versatility and ease of adaptation to different tooth surfaces
- Ergonomic Handle:
- Features a lightweight (approximately 16g) polymer handle with medical-grade silicone cushion grips, designed to reduce hand and wrist fatigue and improve tactile sensitivity
- SmartSharp Technology:
- Manufactured with a proprietary process to ensure a well-defined edge that is easier to re-sharpen, allowing clinicians to apply less pressure and use fewer strokes
- Durable Edges:
- The instrument features a heat-treated, cryo-hardened stainless steel process that ensures edges stay sharp longer
- Autoclavable:
- The entire instrument is fully sterilizable for clinical use
