- An anterior sickle scaler from the Relyant® series, designed for precise, small-scale calculus removal on anterior teeth
Uses
- Anterior Supragingival Scaling:
- Primarily used for the removal of plaque and tartar on the surfaces of incisors and cuspids
- Small Deposit Removal:
- Its small size makes it ideal for reaching into tight interproximal spaces in the anterior region where larger scalers may not fit
- Ortho & Lingual Surfaces:
- Often utilized for cleaning around orthodontic brackets or removing staining on the lingual surfaces of lower anterior teeth
Features
- Blade Design:
- Features a 1.0mm wide blade on a straight shank that tapers to a sharp point
- Short Reach:
- Optimized for control with a "short-reach" geometry, allowing for high leverage in localized areas
- Relyant® Series Construction:
- Crafted from high-carbon surgical-grade stainless steel that undergoes cryogenic hardening to maintain a sharp edge significantly longer than standard steel
- Ergonomic Handle:
- Typically comes with the DuraLite® Round handle (9.5mm diameter), which is lightweight (approx. 16 grams) and textured to reduce glare and improve grip
Benefits
- Free Unlimited Sharpening:
- As part of the Relyant® line, Nordent provides complimentary professional sharpening for the life of the instrument, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring the tool always performs at its peak
- Reduced Clinician Fatigue:
- The lightweight handle and "ControlRing" design require less finger pressure (pinch force), which helps prevent repetitive motion injuries and hand fatigue during long procedures
- Enhanced Tactile Sensitivity:
- The combination of specialized steel and a hollow, lightweight handle allows practitioners to feel vibrations from calculus deposits more clearly
- Increased Patient Comfort:
- Sharp, well-maintained blades require fewer strokes to remove deposits, leading to a faster and more comfortable experience for the patient
