Design: Sickle scalers, including those designated as “Sickle 23,” typically have a sickle-shaped working end. The working end may feature a pointed tip, and the overall design is suitable for reaching and removing calculus and plaque from tooth surfaces, particularly in tight interdental spaces and along the gumline. Periodontics Use: These instruments are specifically designed for use in periodontics, which involves the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gums and bone. Material: Dental instruments are commonly made of high-quality stainless steel or other durable materials. The choice of materials ensures the instrument’s durability, resistance to corrosion, and the ability to withstand sterilization processes required in dental practices. Professional Use: Sickle 23 Scalers are used by dental professionals, such as dentists and dental hygienists, during periodontal treatments and dental cleanings. They play a crucial role in maintaining oral health by removing calculus and plaque, which contribute to gum disease if not addressed.
