3- Clinical use of Sickle Scalers

Specific Sickle Scalers are manufactured and used for Anterior and Posterior Applications and are designed for moderate to heavy deposit removal.

They are primarily used to remove Supragingival Calculus which is located just below the gingiva.

Furthermore, they come into designs:

- Straight

- Curved

Scalers with Straight Blade: Two cutting edges on a straight blade that end in a sharp point and is also known as Jaquette Scaler. They are remarkable for broad facial lingual surfaces and can also be used for interproximally.

Sickle Scalers Curved Blade: Two cutting edges on a curved blade that end in a sharp point and are excellent in removal of interproximal deposits.

Sickle Scaler Instrumentation: It is to remove Calculus, adapt the tip 1/3 of the cutting edge against the tooth,under the deposit. Tilt the facial surface of the blade toward the tooth to achieve an approximate 85 degree angle between both the tooth and the blade.

Then gently apply lateral pressure against the tooth and pull the scaler firmly upward to dislodge the deposit.

Both sides (Cutting Edges) of the blade can be used for mesial or distal, facial or lingual application.

Please note the instrumentation sequence is same as for Universal Curettes, using anterior and posterior designs.

Anterior Sickle Scalers have a straight shank compared to the angled shank of posterior sickle scalers.
