Sickle instruments for supragingival tartar removal

Sickle instruments are periodontal hand instruments designed for the effective removal of supragingival calculus, plaque, and stains. They are characterized by their pointed tip and triangular cross-section, which provides two cutting edges and makes the instruments particularly effective on interproximal surfaces and other easily accessible tooth surfaces above the gum line.

Unlike curettes, which are primarily used for subgingival debridement and root planing, sickle instruments are designed for the rapid and effective removal of hard deposits supragingivally. The product line includes several models and working ends for different tooth groups and clinical situations, making it easy to choose an instrument that provides optimal access and control during treatment.

At Humanus Dental, you’ll find sickle instruments from ErgoDenta, a Danish manufacturer specializing in high-quality, ergonomic dental hand instruments. The instruments are designed with optimal balance, secure grips, and carefully crafted working ends that provide high precision and excellent tactile feedback.
