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. A sickle is commonly used first for the heavier deposits, followed by curettes for subgingival deposits.
How does the 204S differ from the 204SD?
Both are double-ended posterior sickle scalers for supragingival calculus. The 204S has a tighter angle between blade and handle, suited to interproximal areas of back teeth, while the 204SD's blades are set at a more open angle for easier access to distal surfaces.
Why choose a silicone handle?
A moulded silicone handle is wider and lighter than a solid steel one, which many clinicians find more comfortable over a long session.
What material is this instrument made from?
The working ends are hardened Japanese-standard J2 stainless steel, set into a moulded silicone handle. Both are fully autoclavable.
Handle colour: choose Purple, Pink or Blue. All are the same instrument; only the handle colour differs.
Part of our scaling range alongside the 204SD, H6/7, Jacquette and McFarlane scalers and our Gracey curettes.
