- -sourcepos=”1:1-1:29″><strong>Removes plaque and tartar buildup: The Jacquette scaler’s design allows it to effectively scrape away plaque and tartar, both above the gum line (supragingival) and in some cases, slightly below the gum line (subgingival). This helps prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
- Reaches tight spaces: The curved blade and pointed tip of the Jacquette scaler make it adept at cleaning between teeth, an area that can be difficult to reach with a toothbrush.
- Effective on front teeth: The Jacquette scaler’s design is particularly suited for cleaning the smooth surfaces of front teeth.
- May help with stain removal: In some cases, the Jacquette scaler can be used to remove minor surface stains on teeth.Periodontal Instruments

Periodontal scalers are sharp-edged hand instruments designed for removing supragingival calculus deposits, plaque biofilm, and stain from tooth surfaces above the gumline. Dental hygienists and general dentists use these precision tools during prophylaxis appointments, initial periodontal debridement, and gross scaling procedures before subgingival instrumentation. OROAX offers sickle scalers in multiple designs including 204S, Black Jack, Jacquette, Towner, H6-H7, and McCall 17/18 patterns, all made from medical-grade stainless steel that meets international quality standards for periodontal hand instrumentation.
Clinical Applications
- Supragingival Calculus Removal: Sharp triangular working ends fracture and remove hardened calculus deposits from tooth surfaces above the gumline during prophylaxis and periodontal therapy.
- Heavy Calculus Debridement: Robust scaler blades remove tenacious calculus buildup during initial scaling appointments, preparing tooth surfaces for subsequent root planing procedures.
- Anterior Scaling: Jacquette and Towner scalers with straight or slightly curved shanks provide optimal access to anterior tooth surfaces and interproximal contacts.
- Posterior Access: H6-H7 and McCall scalers feature angled shanks designed for reaching posterior proximal surfaces where calculus accumulates heavily on molars and premolars.
Features & Quality Standards
- Quality Standards: Meets international quality standards for dental hand instruments
- Sharp Cutting Edges: Precision-ground triangular blades with two sharp cutting edges per working end for efficient calculus fracturing and removal
- Multiple Designs: Sickle scaler patterns including 204S, Black Jack, Jacquette, Towner, H6-H7, and McCall 17/18 provide comprehensive coverage throughout the oral cavity
- Ergonomic Handles: Comfortable grip patterns reduce hand fatigue during extended scaling appointments with multiple patients

Proper Care & Sterilization
- Wipe working ends immediately after use to prevent calculus from hardening on blade surfaces
- Use ultrasonic cleaning with enzymatic solutions to clear debris from cutting edges
- Autoclave at 121-134°C following standard sterilization protocols
- Sharpen blades regularly using appropriate sharpening stones or devices when cutting efficiency decreases
- Store in organized cassettes with working ends protected from contact with other instruments
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a scaler and a curette?Â
Scalers have triangular cross-sections with pointed tips and two sharp cutting edges for supragingival work. Curettes feature rounded backs, rounded tips, and one cutting edge for subgingival access.
How often should sickle scalers be sharpened?Â
Sharpen scalers when you notice decreas cutting efficiency or increased pressure needed to remove calculus, typically every 10-15 patients or when tactile assessment reveals dull edges.
Are these scalers suitable for subgingival use?Â
No, sickle scalers are designed for supragingival calculus removal above the gumline. Use curettes for subgingival scaling and root planing beneath the gingival margin.
Can periodontal scalers be autoclaved?Â
Yes periodontal scalers are fully autoclavable at 121-134°C and maintain sharpness and structural integrity through repeated sterilization cycles.
