API Manipal Scalers Periodontal scalers are essential dental instruments used for prophylactic and periodontal care, particularly scaling and root planing procedures. These tools are designed with narrow tips to allow easy access to narrow embrasure spaces between teeth. The working ends are available in various shapes and sizes, but all feature scraping edges on both sides of the blade, enabling efficient cleaning of mesial and distal tooth surfaces. Scalers deliver optimal results when their working end is angled slightly toward the tooth surface, ensuring effective removal of deposits. Hand scalers, typically available in sets of three, are used for removing large, bulky supragingival deposits of plaque and calcified material. Their design is particularly effective in interproximal areas, thanks to their thin, contra-angled working ends and precise shank angulation, which provides accessibility to anterior and premolar surfaces. The double-ended design and ergonomic, easy-grip handles further enhance user comfort and control during procedures. Scalers are manufactured using advanced heat treatment and finishing processes, ensuring exceptional durability and sharpness. The optimized steel construction offers superior performance, while the super-thin design and contra-angle structure make them versatile for various dental cleaning tasks. The sickle scaler, in particular, is widely used for both supragingival and subgingival scaling and root planing, effectively removing calculus and promoting oral health.
