Hu-Friedy’s Titanium Implant Scalers lineup is designed to enable clinicians to thoroughly and safely debride biofilm and calculus from the supra-gingival and sub-gingival surfaces of titanium dental implants. The 5 models in the series are immediately available in the most common scaler variants, including:
- The 204SD Sickle Scaler, featuring a contra-angle design for enhanced access to distal surfaces
- The Langer 1/2 Curette, designed for mandibular posterior surfaces
- The Gracey Mini Five Scalers 1/2, 11/12, and 13/14, which respond to deep and/or narrow pockets with their shorter, thinner blades and longer terminal shanks.
Constructed of the same titanium alloy as implants and abutments, the working ends are gentler on these surfaces than stainless steel, according to Hu-Friedy. The teal-colored and anodized working ends also contrast with abutment surfaces and with the rest of the armamentarium. Plus, the working ends ensure increased access to periodontal pockets with greater patient comfort, the company says.
The instruments can also be re-sharpened for increased life and return on investment. In addition, the lineup complements Hu-Friedy’s unfilled resin Implacare II instrument series, which is designed for the prosthetic crown and for light biofilm removal from the titanium abutment and implant. Plus, the scalers’ enhanced ergonomics and visibility ensure superior clinical performance, according to the company.
