FAQs

What is the H6/7 sickle scaler used for?

It removes supragingival plaque and calculus from the anterior teeth and premolars, including interproximal deposits, 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.

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 or Pink. Both are the same instrument; only the handle colour differs.
