SICKLE SCALERS——For the removal of supragingival calculus.
Instrumentation: For calculus removal place the tip third of the scaler’s cutting edge against the tooth. Tilt the instrument toward the tooth to achieve 70° to 80° angle between the tooth and the blade. Apply lateral pressure and activate the scaler by using vertical, diagonal or horizontal pull strokes. To maintain control use short 2–3 mm long strokes.
Instrument for dental professionals, clean and sterilize before use max. 180°C/356°F.
