Maintaining the health of the periodontium (gum, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone) is essential for a person's overall dental health. Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a common dental issue. To maintain good periodontal health or reverse the effects of periodontal disease, the dental team uses specialized instruments. A periodontal curette is one such instrument used for root scraping and smoothing.
It comes in two main categories: universal curettes and Gracey. Non-surgical periodontal therapy often includes the use of a periodontal curette. This instrument has a face, one or two cutting edges, and a rounded back and toe. The manual dental scraper is another instrument held in the dentist's hand to remove dental plaque and calculus from tooth surfaces.
The pocket dental scraper is a specialized version of this tool with a sharp tip to reach hard-to-reach areas, such as between teeth and around dental implants. The dental scraping unit is a motorized version of the dental scraper used in dental clinics and laboratories to quickly and easily remove plaque and calculus from dental surfaces. This equipment helps dentists clean teeth, diagnose problems, and repair damage to tooth enamel. The manual dental retractor is another type of dental instrument with one or two pointed blades at the ends.
It is used to open the mouth during dental exams, surgeries, and procedures. The electric dental drill is a larger tool that rotates slowly to eliminate tooth decay, smooth the tooth surface, and shape dental restoration. There are many different types of drills available, including manual drills, electric drills, and pneumatic drills. The Explorer dental mirror is a type of mirror that reflects light so that the dentist can see difficult-to-reach areas during an exam or procedure.
