Hu-Friedy recently introduced a new line of Titanium Implant Scalers.
The scalers are available in five variants, making it possible for clinicians to thoroughly and safely debride biofilm and calculus from the supra-and sub-gingival surfaces of dental implants, according to a press release
The scalers are available in the 204SD Sickle Scaler, featuring a contra angle design for enhanced access to distal surfaces; the Langer 1/2 curette for the mandibular posterior surfaces; and the company’s Gracey Mini Five Scalers 1/2, 11/12, and 13/14, which feature shorter, thinner blades and longer terminal shanks for deep and/or narrow pockets.
The working ends are constructed of the same titanium alloy as implants and abutments and are gentler on these surfaces than stainless steel. The teal-colored anodized titanium working ends also provide enhanced contrast to the abutment surfaces, while differentiating the instruments.
The instruments offer enhanced ergonomics and visibility, and can be re-sharpened, which helps to extend their life.
