Curettes and scalers are essential diagnostic and treatment instruments used in periodontal care to remove plaque, tartar, and calculus buildup from teeth surfaces. These tools help in maintaining oral hygiene by preventing gum disease and ensuring healthy periodontal tissues.
Scalers, with their sharp, pointed tips, are designed for removing supragingival deposits from enamel surfaces, especially in tight spaces like interproximal areas. Curettes, on the other hand, feature rounded tips and are primarily used for subgingival scaling and root planing, helping to clean below the gumline without causing trauma.They are available in various designs, including universal and site-specific types, these instruments provide precision and control during scaling procedures. These diagnostic curettes and scalers are made from high-quality stainless steel, they ensure durability and effective performance.
