- Designed for removing moderate to heavy calculus deposits from the posterior (back) teeth
Uses
- Posterior scaling:
- The design of the Nevi 2 is optimized for scaling the posterior teeth, including the difficult-to-reach buccal, lingual, and interproximal surfaces
- Heavy calculus removal:
- As a sickle scaler, it is effective at removing moderate to heavy plaque and calculus deposits, particularly in tight interproximal spaces
- Supragingival scaling:
- As a sickle scaler, its primary use is for removing deposits from above the gumline
Features
- Dual cutting blades:
- The tips have dual cutting blades that meet at a sharp point, characteristic of a sickle scaler
- This design is effective for dislodging moderate to heavy calculus deposits
- Thin, contra-angled shank:
- Has a contra-angled shank design which improved access to posterior teeth while allowing the clinician to maintain a more neutral and ergonomic wrist position during scaling
- The very thin design of the working end also allows it to navigate interproximal areas with minimal tissue trauma
- 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
