- Designed for the removal of calculus, particularly in deep periodontal pockets, while providing excellent user comfort
Uses
- Deep subgingival scaling:
- Specifically designed with a long, slender terminal shank to provide access into deep periodontal pockets for effective removal of plaque and calculus from below the gumline
- Access to difficult areas:
- Its design is ideal for reaching the mesial and distal surfaces of anterior teeth, as well as the buccal and lingual surfaces of premolars, especially where access is tight
- General scaling:
- While specialized for deeper pockets, it can also be used for removing supragingival calculus deposits
Features
- Long and slender shank:
- The most notable feature of this pocket scaler is its elongated terminal shank, which allows clinicians to access deeper subgingival pockets than a standard scaler
- Straight, sharp edges:
- Double-ended and feature two straight cutting edges, which come to a pointed tip which makes them effective for removing moderate to heavy calculus deposits
- 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
