- Used for removing moderate to heavy calculus deposits, particularly on the posterior (back) teeth
Uses
- Calculus removal:
- It is effective at removing moderate to heavy plaque and calculus deposits, especially in the interproximal areas
- Supragingival scaling:
- As a sickle scaler, its primary use is for removing deposits from above the gumline
- Posterior scaling:
- Ideal for scaling the posterior teeth, including the difficult-to-reach buccal (cheek-side) and lingual surfaces
Features
- Tapered, dual cutting blades:
- Tips have tapered, dual cutting blades that meet at a sharp point
- This design allows for effective removal of calculus from interproximal areas
- The pointed end also makes it a versatile tool for removing supragingival deposits
- Unique angles:
- The shank of the Nevi 4 is contra-angled to allow for better reach and access to the posterior region of the mouth
- This helps clinicians maintain a more neutral wrist position, improving ergonomics
- Stronger shank:
- Features a more rigid shank than other Nevi scalers, which is designed to handle moderate to heavy calculus deposits more effectively
- 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
