Dental Hand Sickle Scaler

Dental Hand Sickle Scaler

Sickles are effective because the sharp cutting edge of the sickle is adapted to heavy or tenacious calculus at a more open angle (80° to 90°) than a curet. This angulation allows the strong sickle scaler blade to fracture the deposit cleanly away from the tooth. The sickle scaler tip can be used to remove calculus from the developmental grooves and blood grooves in canine teeth. This scaler is used to remove plaque and calculus from the tooth surface.

Dental scalers are tools designed for removing dental plaque, calculus (tartar), and other debris from the teeth and gums. They are commonly used in periodontal therapy to treat gum diseases and maintain oral health.The “Perio Scalers Set of 8” suggests that this set includes eight different types of periodontal scalers. Dental scaler sets often come with various scaler shapes and sizes, each designed to access and clean different areas of the teeth and gums effectively.
