Dental Hand Scaler - pattern H6/
A double ended instrument.
The two ends are mirror image to give a left and right (complimentary) curvature..
Curettes are modified hand scalers which have smaller “toes” (working area) with rounded tips. A balanced grip handle which has a large diameter for comfortable grip and good control.
Uses
- To scale subgingivally (remove calculus below the gumline and in periodontal pockets) and to perform root planning (remove redundant, necrotic cementum).
- They may also be used supragingivally on light calculus deposits
- Periodontal pockets over 2mm should be cleaned with hand instruments (dental curettes) rather than power scalers.
- The toe is placed against the tooth surface with the flat face at 90 degrees so that the sharp edge contacts.
- Repeat overlapping stokes are used. The movement is from the base of the pocket (gingival attachment) towards the tip of the crown.
- The working side of each end should be maintained with a sharp edge for efficient and effective action.
- The curette should be sharpened frequently (after only several uses) to freshen up the edge.
- Sharpening is achieved using a fine Arkansas stone with oil using the same action as when scaling teeth.
