- Designed for precision scaling and root planing in the posterior areas of the mouth
Features:
- Clinical applications:
- Targeted posterior debridement:
- Specifically designed for accessing posterior tooth surfaces
- The #8 end is typically used for the mesial surfaces, while the #7 end is used for the distal surfaces
- Deep and narrow pockets:
- The small, scoop-shaped blade can be effectively maneuvered in periodontal pockets where traditional curettes cannot easily reach
- This is done with minimal tissue distention, which is more comfortable for the patient
- Increase efficiency:
- By allowing for scaling and root planing with push and pull strokes, it offers greater versatility and can reduce procedure time and the number of instruments needed
- Accessing complex root anatomy:
- highly effective for cleaning hard-to-reach features on the root surfaces of posterior teeth
- Design:
- Features a double-ended design with small, unique scoop-shaped blades
- Shape includes a 270° cutting edge that allows the clinician to perform three-dimensional scaling and root planing with a push or pull motion
- Ergonomics:
- The double-ended instrument has a large-diameter, ultra-lightweight, solid resin handle with extended knurling in "Orca Black"
- This design improves grip, enhances tactile sensitivity, and helps reduce hand fatigue and the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome
- Durability:
- Blade is made from cryogenically treated 440A surgical stainless steel
- This process makes the blade sharper, harder, and tougher, allowing it to hold its edge for longer periods
- Manufacturing:
- The instrument is handcrafted in the USA
