Features / description A hybrid (double ended) instrument one end is a spoon curette - the other is a heavy duty tooth scaler. The curette is similar to a small bone curette rather than a dental curette. The scaler end is similar to a Jacquette pattern dental scaler. It is hook-like having a simple curved shape without offset which tapers to a sharp point. The scaler is robust, being of thick metal, for heavy duty tasks. The deluxe quality handle (6mm diameter) gives a comfortable grip Uses Both ends can be used to dislodge thick calculus deposits to allow visualisation of the crown or prior to further scaling. Scaler end; to remove heavy calculus deposits from tooth crown (above the gum line). to scale between the incisor teeth in dogs. Curette end; gentle curettage of large sockets to remove the granulation tissue (if present) removal of soft tissues from sites of bony pathology e.g. to clean out the bony defect in debridement of bone cyst lesions
