- This instrument is used for removing moderate to heavy supragingival calculus
Uses
- Calculus removal:
- Universal sickle scaler effective at removing moderate to heavy plaque and calculus deposits from tooth surfaces
- Supragingival scaling:
- Its design is ideal for cleaning the areas of the teeth above the gumline
- Interproximal cleaning:
- The pointed tips are effective for navigating and cleaning the tight interproximal spaces between teeth
- Anterior and posterior use:
- This scaler can be used on both anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth
Features
- Triangular cross-section:
- has a pointed end and a blade with a triangular cross-section which is is very effective for removing moderate to heavy calculus deposits
- Two cutting edges:
- Each double-ended tip has two straight, sharp cutting edges that converge at the pointed tip. This allows for versatile and efficient scaling
- Long, straight shank:
- The tips are attached to a long, straight terminal shank
- This design is particularly well-suited for accessing anterior teeth and reaching tight interproximal areas
- 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
