- Universal sickle scaler used by dental professionals for removing calculus and stains from the anterior and posterior teeth
Applications:
- Universal scaling:
- This instrument can be used for the effective removal of supra- and subgingival calculus deposits from all tooth surfaces
- Root planing:
- The fine, sharp tips are suitable for smoothing the tooth root surface, a procedure known as root planing
- Anterior and posterior use:
- The versatile design is suitable for use on both anterior and posterior teeth, making it a valuable tool for general dental cleanings
- Heavy calculus removal:
- The blade design is effective for removing moderate to heavy calculus deposits
Features:
-
Jacquette 34/35 design:
- Double-ended, mirror-image tips:
- The instrument has two working ends with opposite, mirror-image bends
- This allows the clinician to use the same instrument to access different surfaces of posterior teeth without needing to switch
- Tip shape
- The blade is triangular in cross-section with a straight cutting edge that tapers to a pointed tip
- Short, angled shank:
- The H204S design features a shorter, more angled shank than a standard straight scaler
- This makes it particularly effective for reaching and adapting to the complex surfaces of posterior teeth and navigating tight interproximal spaces
- Sickle blade:
- The blade has a triangular cross-section with two cutting edges that converge to a pointed tip
- This design is optimized for the efficient removal of supra- and subgingival calculus
- Ergonomic handle:
- The instrument features a lightweight (15-gram), ergonomic polymer handle with a non-slip grip
- This design helps to reduce hand and wrist fatigue during procedures
- SmartSharp technology:
- The tips are made from heat-treated, cryo-hardened 440A stainless steel
- This technology ensures the tips maintain a sharp edge and precise angle for greater efficiency and less repetitive motion for the user
- Autoclavable:
- The durable polymer handle is designed to withstand multiple autoclaving cycles, ensuring longevity and proper infection control
- Designed for control:
- The handle and tip design allow the user to easily maintain control during instrumentation with less pressure required
