FAQs
What is a 204S scaler used for?
It removes supragingival calculus and interproximal deposits around the posterior teeth during scaling and routine hygiene appointments.
How does a sickle scaler differ from a curette?
A sickle has a pointed tip and is used mainly above the gumline, while a curette has a rounded toe designed to work safely below it. Most hygienists use a sickle first, then curettes for subgingival deposits.
Why choose a silicone handle?
A moulded silicone handle is wider and lighter than a solid steel one, so it takes less pinch force to control the instrument. Across a full day of appointments that means noticeably less hand fatigue, and the textured surface keeps its grip when wet or gloved.
What material is this instrument made from?
The working ends are hardened Japanese-standard J2 stainless steel, which holds a sharp scaling edge through repeated autoclave cycles, set into a moulded silicone handle. Both are fully autoclavable.
