Since ancient times when dental therapists recognized the importance of removal of calculus and dental plaque as a treatment for gum disease, instruments were specifically designed to affect the procedure.
Tooth scalers and "scalper medicinalis" were used by the Romans since the time of Celsus, who suggested that stains on teeth can be scraped away.
4
An elaborate set of 14 double ended instruments was used
by Albucasis (936-1013 AD.), a Moorish physician. These
instruments were primarily hooks or straight and slightly
curved gravers (chisel-like scrapers).
5
6
As with all instruments, they have three distinct sections:
Handle,
Shank, and
Working end, blade or nib
7
Handle Handle of the instrument is used for grasping the
instrument.
Available in various weight ,diameter and texture.
Weight:-
Weight of the handle is determined by its diameter and its core(solid or hollow)
Hollow handle: increase tactile transfer and minimize fatigue
Solid handle :reduce tactile transfer and increase fatigue
8
Diameter
Small handles(3/17 inch) :decrease control and increase fatigue
Large handless (3/8 inch): maximize control and reduce muscle fatigue
Texture
Serrated knurled handle(bumpy texturing) :maximize control and decrease hand fatigue
Smooth handle :decrease control and increase muscle fatigue
9
Handle Selection Criteria
10
Recommended Avoid
Large diameter (3/8 inch) Small diameter (3/17 inch)
Lightweight, hollow handle Heavy, solid metal handle
Bumpy texturing Smooth or flat texturing
11
Shank Shank connect the handle to the
working end of the instrument. Shank can be functional and
terminalFunctional shank extend from the
working end to theshank bend closest to instrument
handle Terminal shank extends between
blade and 1st bendShank can be rigid, moderately rigid
or flexible.
12
1. Simple shank design—a shank that is bent in one plane (front-to-back).
2.Complex shank design—a shank that is bent in two plane(front –to-back and side –to-side) to facilitate instrumentation of posterior teeth
13
Working end The working end or blade is made up of several
component such as face ,cutting edge ,back and toe .
A rounded working end is called – TOE
A pointed working end is called – TIP
BALANCED INSTRUMENT
If the working –ends are aligned with the long axis of the handle. This design that finger pressure applied against handle is transferred to the working –end of the instument.
14
Periodontal instruments are designed for specific purposessuch as removing calculus, planing root surfaces, curetting the gingiva, and removing diseased tissue.
15
17
Periodontal Instruments are classified according to the purposes
they serve as follows-
1. PERIODONTAL PROBES are used to locate, measure
and mark pockets as well as determine their course on individual
tooth surfaces.
2. EXPLORER are used to locate calculus deposits and caries.
3.SCALING,ROOT-PLANING AND CURETTAGE instruments are used for removal of plaque and calcified deposits
from the crown and root of a tooth ,removal of altered cementum
from the subgingival root surface and debridement of the soft
tissue lining the pocket.
18
Scaling and curettage instruments are classified as follows :-
Sickle scalers are heavy instruments used to remove
supragingival calculus.
Curettes are fine instruments used for subgingival scaling,root
planing and removal of the soft tissue lining the pocket.
19
Hoe,chisel and file scalers are used to remove tenacious
subgingival calculus and altered cementum. Their use is limited
compared with that of curettes.
Ultrasonic and sonic instruments are used for scaling and
cleansing tooth surfaces and curetting the soft tissue wall of the
periodontal pocket .
20
4)Periodontal Endoscope is used to visualize deeply
into subgingival pockets and furcations, allowing the detection of
pockets.
5)Cleansing and polishing instruments such as
rubber cups,brushes and dental tapes are used to clean and polish
tooth surfaces.
Also available are air- powder abrasive systems for tooth
polishing.
21
Mirror Surfaces -
1.Plane ( Flat ) . May produce a double image .
2.Concave - For magnifying
3. Front Surface -The reflecting surface is on the front of the lens
rather than on the back as with plane or magnifying mirror. The
front surface eliminates “ ghost images “.
22
Diameter –
Size of mouth mirror
Size 1 -16mm
Size 2 – 18mm
Size 3 – 20mm
Size 4 - 22mm
Size 5- 24 mm
Most commonly used mirror are size 4 and size 5.
23
Disposable Mirrors
May be plastic in one piece or may be a handle with replaceable head
for professional use.
Also there are Take home mirrors for patient instruction . Patient may
observe lingual and posterior aspects .
24
Different types of mouth mirror
25
26
Plane surface mirrors (also know as regular mirrors) have a silver coating on the back of the glass. As a result, light is reflected from the top of the glass as well as from the silver layer. This causes a double image.
FUNCTIONS
Specific uses
Indirect vision
Indirect illumination
Transillumination
Retraction
Nonspecific uses
Handles can be used for checking mobility, percussion.
;
27
Periodontal probes are used to locate, measure and mark pockets as
well as determine their course on individual tooth surfaces .
It is usually long, thin, and blunted at the end.
The markings are inscribed onto the head of the instrument for
accuracy and readability.
28
PERIODONTAL PROBES
Function : to measure the depth of the pockets.
General characteristics :
- tapered
- straight
- millimeter calibration
- blunt, rounded tip
- thin ( 0.5 mm at the end )
- the shank is angled to allow easy insertion
in the pocket.
29
Probe is used to
A. Assess the periodontal status for preparation of a treatment
plan
1. Classify the disease as gingivitis or periodontitis by determining
whether the bone loss has occurred and whether the pockets are
gingival or periodontal.
2. Determine the extent of inflammation in conjunction with overall
gingival inflammation. Bleeding on probing is an early sign of
inflammation in the gingiva.
30
B. Make a Sulcus and pocket survey 1. Examine the shape ,topography and dimension of sulci and
pockets.
2. Measure and record probing depths.
3. Determine the clinical attachment level .
C. Make a Mucogingival Determinations
1.Determine relationship of gingival margin, attachment level
and mucogingival junction .
2. Measures width of attached gingiva
3. Roll test to locate mucogingival junction
31
D. Make Other Gingival Determinations
1.Evaluate gingival bleeding on probing and prepare a index.
2. Measure the extent of visible gingival recession.
3. Detect anatomic configuration of roots, subgingival deposits
and root irregularities that complicate instrumentation. For this,
the probe is used in conjunction with the explorer.
F. Evaluate Success and completeness of treatment
32
Periodontal probes are classified as
1 st generation probe
2nd generation probe
3 rd generation probe……Pihlstrom
4 th generation probe…….Watts
5th generation probe

PLASTIC PROBES FOR IMPLANTS
Several different companies are manufacturing plastic
instruments and gold –coated curettes for use on titanium and
other implant abutment metals.
It is important that plastic rather than metal instruments be used
to avoid scarring and permanent damage to the implants.
44
These are pressure-sensitive probes.
It has been shown that with forces upto 20 gms, the probe tips
remains within junctional epithelium and forces upto 50 gms are
necessary to diagnose osseous defects.
This probe did not solve many problems of conventional probes
and lacked tactile sensitivity.
Examples are TPS probe.
Advantages Disadvantages
1) Constant pressure 1) Penetration into inflammed
2) Less inter-examiner variation connective tissue
3) Comfortable to the patient 2) Assistant required
45
True Pressure Sensitive Probe
To overcome the limitations of conventional probingsystem, pressure-sensitive probes are developed whichhave standardized, controlled insertion pressure.
Introduced by hunter in 1994.
These probe have a disposable probing head and ahemisphere probe tip with a diameter of 0.5 mm
This probe was designed to deliver the same 20 gramsof force every time.
Controlled force to the probe tip was provided using aparallelogram.
46
True Pressure Sensitive Probe
47
These are computerized probes. Gibbes et al designed Florida probes ex- Foster miller probe ,toronto automated probes which can detect cemento- enamel junction.
ADVANTAGES
1)Constant pressure application
2)Error during data recording minimal
3)Computerized storage of data
4)Printout can be obtained
DISADVANTAGES
1)Penetration into inflamed connective tissue may occur
2)Less tactile sensitivity
48
Foster Miller probe Introduced by Jeffcoat et al in 1986
This device capable of providing controlled probing pressure and measuring the pocket depth along with detection of CEJ.
The components of the probe are: a pneumatic cylinder, a linear variable differential transducer (LVDT), a force transducer, an accelerator, and a probe tip.
The main mechanism of action of the Foster-Miller probe is by detection of the CEJ
49
The ball tip moves or glides over the root surface at a controlled speed and preset pressure. Abrupt changes in the acceleration of the probe movement (recorded on a graph) indicate when it meets the CEJ and when it is stopped at the base of the pocket
50
The Florida Probe was devised by Gibbs et al in 1988.
This probe consists of a probe handpiece and sleeve; a displacement
transducer; a foot switch; and a computer interface/personal computer.
The hemispheric probe tip has a diameter of 0.45 mm, and the sleeve
has a diameter of 0.97 mm.
Constant probing pressure of 15 gm is provided by coil springs inside
the handpiece
Its advantages are
Precise Electronic measurements
Computer storage data
Constant probing force 51

Fourth generation These are three dimensional probes in which sequential probe
positions are measured.
ADVANTAGES
1)Allow three –dimensional measurement
2)Sequential probe positions can be measured
3)Computerized storage
4)Printout can be obtained
DISADVANTAGES
1)Under developed
54
Fifth Generation. Fifth generation are ultrasonographic probes which provides
painless probing to the patient. The guidance path is predeterminedin these probes.
ADVANTAGES
1)Non –invasive
2)Accurate measurement of pocket depth
3)Ultra sound waves accurately detect various periodontal structurelike upper boundary of periodontal ligament and other soft tissuestructure
4)Provides information regarding condition of the gingival tissues.
5)Printout can be obtained.
DISADVANTAGES
1)Technique sensitive
2)Expensive
3)Operator training required for interpreting the image obtained. 55
UltraSonographic (US) probe US probe was devised by Hinders and Companion at
the NASA Langley Research Center.
US probe mapping system is a non –invasiveperiodontal probing
A narrow beam of high frequency (10-15 Hz)ultrasonic waves is passed into the gingival sulcus andechoes of returning waves ,which are reflected backfrom tissues are recorded.
Component of the probe contra-angledhandpiece,computer, electron box for water control,foot pedal, transducer emit and receives sound waves.

OTHER PERIODONTAL
PROBES
58
Thermal Probe Thermal probes are sensitive diagnostic devices used for
measuring early inflammatory changes in the gingival tissues.
One of the commercially available system, the PerioTemp Probe enables the calculation of temperature differential (DT, with a sensitivity of 0.1o C) between the pocket probed and its sub gingival temperature.
This temperature differential is useful because it allows consideration of differences in core temperature between individuals.
59
Thermal Probe
60
Thermal Probe Sub gingival temperature at diseased sites is increased
compared with healthy sites.
There always exists a natural antero - posterior temperature gradient existing within the dental arches.
Mandibular sites were reported to be warmer than the maxillary sites.
Temperature increases with probing depth due to increase in cellular and molecular activity caused by increased periodontal inflammation with increasing probing depth.
61
Flexible Plastic Probes The Colorvue™ Probe Tips from Hu-
Friedy Manufacturing offer the option of using replaceable and flexible tips with 1 mm or 3 mm markings.
The yellow probe with the black markings creates a striking contrast with the gingival tissue. Tips last 30 uses due to wearing of the color markings.
62
The PerioWise® Friendly Probe® by Premier Dental is a white, flexible, autoclavable 3-6-9-12 mm or 3-5-7-10 mm probe. At the tip is a green band indicating a 3 mm or less sulcus depth. Red millimeter markings are present at 5 mm or 6 mm and thereafter indicating disease.
63
Explorers are sharp, pointed metallic instruments.
Functions-
These are used to detect by tactile means , the texture ,and character of tooth surfaces
before,during and after periodontal debridement to assess the progress and completeness of
instrumentation.
They are also used to detect tooth surfaces for calculus ,decalcified and carious lesions,
dental anomalies and anatomic features such as grooves , curvatures or root furcations .
.64
EXPLORER
Design of Explorers
Explorers are made of flexible metal.
Explorers are circular in cross section.
The working-end is 1 to 2 mm in length and is referred to as the
explorer tip.
The actual point of the explorer is not used to detect dental calculus;
rather,the side of explorer tip is applied to the tooth surface
65
SHEPHARDS HOOK

It is a long stick with a curved end
USE
For supragingival examinations for
dental caries and irrregular margins
of restoration
Straight Explorer. Use:
• Supragingival examination of the
margins of restorations or to assess for
sealant retention.
67
Curved Explorer. Use:
Calculus detection in normal sulci or
shallow pockets.
68
COWHORN &PIGTAIL
69
•Used in calculus detection in
normal sulci or shallow
pockets extending no deeper
than the cervical-third of the
root.
ORBAN TYPE
70
•Used for assessment of anterior root
surfaces and the facial and lingual surfaces
of posterior teeth .
• Difficult to adapt to the line angles and
proximal surfaces of the posterior teeth
Tip bent at a 90-degee to the lower shank
11/12 EXPLORER
71
It is a universal assessment /diagnostic periodontal
instrument.
The tip is at 90-degree angle to lower shank.Used for
assessment of root surfaces on posterior and anterior teeth
These have a flat surface and two cutting edges that converge in a sharply pointed tip.
The shape of the instrument makes the tip strong so that it will not break off during
use . These is primarily used to remove supragingival calculus .
Because of the design of this instrument it is difficult to insert a large sickle blade
under the gingiva without damaging the surrounding gingival tissues .
Small, curved sickle blades such as 204SD can be inserted under ledges of calculus a
few millimeters below the gingiva .
72
SICKLE
SCALER
Working-End DesignPARTS OF THE WORKING-END
73
Cutting Edge. The cutting edge is a sharp edge formed where the face and lateral surfaces meet
Toe or Tip:The cutting edges of a curette meet to form a rounded surface called a toe. The cutting edges of a sickle scaler meet in a point called a tip.
74
A curette is the instrument of choice for removing deep
subgingival calculus,root planing altered cementum and removing
the soft tissue lining the periodontal pocket .
Each working end has a cutting edge on both sides of the blade
and a rounded toe .
The curette is finer than sickle scalers and does not have any
sharp points or corners other than the cutting edge of the blade
. 75
CURETTE
A universal curet is a periodontal instrument used to remove small- and
medium-size calculus deposits .
Universal curet can be used both supragingivally and subgingivally—on crown
and root surfaces.
A universal curet usually is a double-ended instrument with paired, mirror-
image working-ends.
Example : langer curettes, columbia curettes, indiana university curettes, barnhart
curettes, mc-call’s curettes, younger good curettes.
76
The face is at a 90-degree angle with terminal ( lower ) shank.
Two cutting edge which are formed at the junction of the lateral
surface with the facial surface.
Two parallel cutting edges that meet at a rounded toe.
77
Design
Paradise Dental Technologies (PDT) (Missoula, Mont) introduced the original Montana Jack scaler, a double ended, curved posterior sickle scaler.
New Rigid Montana Jack for heavier scaling that has larger shanks with blades that are as narrow as the original Montana Jack but thicker face to back.
78
The Nevi 1 anterior sickle scaler has two distinct working ends. The small
thin sickle end is paired with an oval disk-shaped end.
The Nevi 2 is a double ended acutely curved posterior sickle that is very
thin.
The new Nevi 3 is a modification of the Wiland Carver that was originally
designed as a restorative finishing instrument. Its thin curved blades for
light to moderate scaling in shallow to moderate depths. The Nevi 3 is also
excellent for scaling of malpositioned teeth and for scaling pediatric
patients.
The new Nevi 4 is a modified Montana Jack design that has strong, curved
blades that are designed for moderate to heavy scaling.
79
80
LANGERThis set of four curette combines the shank design of the standard gracey with a
universal curettes blade design .
This combination allows the advantage of the area-specific shank to be combined
with the versatility of the universal curette blade.

distention
83
Mini Five Langer Curettes Designed with the same elongated
terminal shank (3mm) and thinned
blades as the After Five Langer Curettes
50% shorter blade for access to smaller
roots, narrow pockets, furcations, and
developmental groove
84
Standard Mini FiveAfter Five
Gracey curettes- In 1940s dr. Clayton gracey developed gracey
curettes.
These are representatives of the area-specific curettes, a set of
several instruments designed and angled to adapt to specific
anatomic areas of the dentition.
These curettes and their identification are probably the best
instruments for subgingival scaling and root planing because they
provide the best adaptation to complex root anatomy.
85
AREA SPECIFIC CURETTES
1. Blade is at 70 degrees from the lower shank (offset blade). This angulation
allows the blade to be inserted in the precise position , provided parallel lower
shank with the long axis of the tooth surface being scaled.
2. One cutting edge
3. A long, complex functional shank

17/18 Gracey Curette The 17/18 Gracey Curette is modified version of the Gracey 13-
14 allows better access and a more comfortable hand and finger
position access to the distal surfaces of posterior teeth.
Accentuated angles and long terminal shank allows for placement
into deep periodontal pocket.
The multiple bends improve the handle positioning so
interference from the opposing arch is significantly reduced.
Reduced blade length enhances adaptation of the entire blade to
the tooth.
The terminal shank is 7 mm
92
17/18 Gracey Curette
• With the 17/18’s multiple bends, the handle position is closer to
horizontal which minimizes the contact with the opposing arch.
Allowing the clinician improved access to difficult to reach posterior
areas.

Larger and heavier curettes for the
removal of granulation tissue and
tenacious subgingival deposits.
TURGEON MODIFIED GRACEY CURETTE
The Turgeon Modified
Gracey features narrow
blades for ease of insertion.
101
QUETIN Furcation curettesThese are actually hoes with a shallow, half moon radius that fits into root
or floor of the furcation.
The curvature of the tip also fits into developmental depressions on the
inner aspects of the roots.
The shanks are slighty curved for better access and tip are available in two
widths .
These remove burnished calculus from recessed areas of the furcation
where even the mini-bladed curettes are often too large to gain every access.
Example BL 1 and MD1 small and fine with 0.9mm blade width and
BL2 and MD 2Large and wider with 1.3 blade width
102
103
Quétin furcation curettes : BL2 (larger) and BL1 (smaller).
PERIOTRIEVERS
The schwartz Periortrievers are a set of two double-ended, highly
magnetized instruments designed for the retrieval of broken instrument
tips from the periodontal pocket.
They are indispensable when the clinician has broken a curette tip in a
furcation or deep pocket.
104
Periodontal file
105
A periodontal file is a instrument that is used to crush or roughen a
heavy calculus deposits so that it can be removed with sickle scaler or
curette.
The working end of periodontal file has unique charaterstic
1)Thin and flat working end can be used to remove large deposit that
are inaccessible to the sickle scaler.
2)The cutting edge are at 90 to 105 degree angle to the base.
3) The base may be round and rectangular.
4)The shank is rigid
HIRSCHFELD FILES
106
File is an instrument used to crush calculus deposits.
Hirschfeld 3/7 (facial and lingual surfaces of posterior
teeth)
5/11(proximal surface of posterior teeth)
9/10 file(facial and lingual surfaces of anterior teeth)
Orban 10/11(facial and lingual surfaces of posterior teeth)
12/13(proximal surface of posterior teeth) file.
DIAMOND COATED FILES
Diamond –coated file are instrument used for finishing of root surface.
These files do not have cutting edges; instead, they are coated with very-
fine-grit diamond. The diamond-coated instruments from Hu-Friedy
Manufacturing Company have diamond coating placed 360° around the
tip.
The most useful diamond files are the buccal-lingual instruments,
which are used in furcations and also adapt well to many other root
surfaces.
Diamond files can produce a smooth, even, clean, and highly polished
root surface.
108
HOE SCALER
Hoe scaler are used for scaling of ledges or rings
of calculus.
The blade is bent at a 99-degree angle; the
cutting edge is formed by the junction of the
flattened terminal surface with the inner aspect of
the blade .
The cutting edge is beveled at 45 degrees.
The blade is slightly bowed so that it can
maintain contact at two point on a convex
surface.
109
CHISEL SCALER
The chisel scaler designed for the proximal surfaces of teeth too closely spaced to
permit the use of other scalers .
It is usually used in the anterior part of the mouth.
It is a double ended instrument with a curved shank at one end and a straight shank at
the other .
The blade are slightly curved and have a straight cutting edge beveled at 45 degrees.
110
Implant Instruments To remove a tenacious calculus deposit from an implant with a graphite or
plastic instrument is extremely difficult.
A new solid titanium implant instrument series (Brasseler USA) is available
that does not damage the implant surface, yet is able to effectively remove
the deposit .
Hartzell and Son Co makes titanium-coated implant instruments that are
rigid and they have a stainless steel core underneath the titanium coating to
increase rigidity
111
Sharpening Eliminated A new technology is being manufactured to eliminate, not reduce, the
need for sharpening periodontal curette and sickle instruments.
These instruments (XP™ Technology, American Eagle Instruments® Inc)
have gold colored working ends created by impregnating titanium nitrate
into stainless steel by surface engineering.
Indications: Debridement, fine scaling, and root planing of nontenacious
deposits.
Contraindications: are tenacious calculus deposits, overhang removal,
and trimming restorative margins
112
113
Oscillating scaler
Ultrasonic sonic
Ultrasonic and sonic instruments may be used for removing plaque,scaling,curetting
and removing stain.
Sonic unit consist of a handpiece that attaches to a compressed –air line and uses a
variety of specially designed tips.
Vibrations in sonic tip range from 2000 to 6500 cycle per seconds .
Sonic scaler tips are large in diameter and universal in design. A sonic scaler tiptravels in an elliptical or orbital stroke pattern.
This stroke pattern allows the instrument to be adapted to all tooth surfaces.
The motion of the tip of the instrument is between 0.08–0.20mm.
114
Ultrasonic Ultrasonic units are either manual-tuned or autotuned.
Manual-tuned units are magnetostrictive ultrasonic devices.
Autotuned unit there is no tuning knob to adjust the speed (frequency) of
the tip. The majority of magnetostrictive units and all piezoelectric units are
autotuned.
Manual-tuned unit permits the clinician to adjust the frequency via the
tuning knob.
115
Magnetostrictive ultrasonic devices work in a frequency range of 18,000 to 50,000
cycles per second.
In a magnetostrictive unit is a core attached to the working end.
The core is either a stack of metal strips or a ferrite rod, depending on the type of
unit.
The handpiece is a copper wire coil that exposes the core to a varying magnetic field
when it receives an electrical current. When magnetized, the core contracts; when
demagnetized, the core returns to its original size.
116
117
Vibrations travel from the metal stack to a connecting body that causes the
vibration of the working tip.
Tips move in an elliptical or orbital stroke pattern. This allows the tip four
active working surfaces.
118
Beavertail Low to high Supragingival moderate to heavy calculus, Removing stain from all accessible tooth surfaces
Design Power setting Indication
Universal Low to high Light ,moderate and heavy calculus removal in all areas
Probelike Low to medium Light subgingival periodontaldebridement(calculus and plaque) ,Shallow and deeppocket depth and furcations
Dental implants Low Debridement of dental implants
Piezoelectric ultrasonic units work in a frequency range of 18,000 to
50,000 cycles per second.
They have ceramic discs that are located in the handpiece power
piezoelectric technology. They change in dimension as electrical energy
is applied to the tip.
Piezoelectric tips move in a linear pattern, giving the tip two active
surfaces.

120
A Time Line for the Evolution of Powered InstrumentsDate Event
Late 1950s Development of the first electronically powered instruments.
1960s and 1970s Powered instruments are used to remove heavy calculus deposits. The bulky design of the power instrument tip limits use to supragingival instrumentation or sites where the tissue allows easy subgingival insertion. The Gracey curet is the primary instrument for use within periodontal pockets.
Late 1980s Slim-diameter instrument tips are developed for electronically powered devices.
1990s Research studies establish that bacterial products are easily removed from the root surfaces, leading to a new approach to instrumentation and the conservation of cementum.
Today Modern powered instrument tips have been shown to be as effective as hand instruments for removing subgingivalcalculus deposits, plaque biofilms, and bacterial products from periodontally involved teeth.
Three modes of action Mechanical action, or vibration of the tip, results in deposit removal.
Mechanized instruments are said to have clinical power, referring to the
ability to remove calculus deposits under load.
Tip action that provides clinical power is dependent on the stroke,
frequency, type of tip motion, and angulation of the motion against the
tooth surface..
Cavitation is the action created by the formation and collapse of bubbles
in the water by high-frequency sound waves surrounding an ultrasonic tip.
Cavitation results in lavage, which is the therapeutic washing of the
pockets and root surface to remove endotoxins and loose debris.
Acoustic microstreaming occurs because agitation in the fluids
surrounding a rapidly vibrating ultrasonic tip has the potential to destroy
or disrupt bacteria.
121
Sonic scalerAdvantages
They create less heat at the scaling tip than an ultrasonic machine.
Used with air pressure so no need for separate installation as in case of
ultrasonic scalers
Disadvantages
Noisy during use
These scalers have low range of vibraton and high tip amplitude as
compared to Ultrasonic scaler so hardly ever leads to cavitation of the
water jet.
122
Insert Design Diamond-coated inserts are available for furcations, fine scaling,
and root planing.
Standard inserts (1 to 3 mm) are used for supragingival orsubgingival Light, moderate, or heavy calculus
Universal inserts can be used supragingivally, primarily for initialdebridement of moderate to heavy nontenacious deposits.
Precision thin inserts have probelike slim workingend designs(from 0.3 to 0.6 mm wide) indicated for light-deposit periodontaldebridement in shallow and deep pockets.
Available in three configurations—straight, right, and left
Straight design—indicated for periodontal pockets that are 4 mm orless
Right and left designs—indicated to reach depths greater than 4mm, concavities, and furcations
123
Furcation inserts have a 0.8-mm ball-end feature, providing more tip surface area for periodontal debridement of furcations and root concavities
124
Ultrasonic scaler hazards Aerosol and splatter
Micik and colleagues defined aerosols and splatter
Dental aerosols are fine, airborne particles that are liquid, solid, or a
combination of both and are 50 μm or less in size.
Spatter includes particles greater than 50 μm.
Two type of infectious aerosols :Dust born and Droplet nuclei
Dust born aerosols are larger in diameter and they can be easily
removed from the air by sedimentation or filtration.
Droplet aerosols are smaller in size and settle out of the air slowly.
125
Adverse effect of noise
The noise exposure from ultrasonic scalers commonly produced
hearing loss after long periods of time and can temporarily alter
patient hearing.
Thermal hazards
Absorbtion of acoustic energy by the tooth surface can result in an
elevation of tooth temperature causing heat injury.
Tactile sensitivity is impaired
Affect on pacemakers discharge rate.
126
Indications
Supragingival debridement of dental calculus and extrinsic stain
Subgingival debridement of calculus, oral biofilm, root surface constituents, and periodontal
pathogens
Removal of orthodontic cement
Gingival and periodontal conditions and diseases
Precautions
Unshielded pacemakers
Infectious diseases: human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis, tuberculosis
Exposed dentin (especially associated with sensitivity)
Restorative materials (porcelain, amalgam, gold, composite)
Titanium implant abutments unless using special insert,
Children (primary teeth)
Immunosuppression from disease or chemotherapy
127
Contraindications
Chronic pulmonary disease: asthma, emphysema, cystic fibrosis, pneumonia
Cardiovascular disease with secondary pulmonary disease
Swallowing difficulty (dysphagia)
128
One study revealed that magnetostrictive, piezoelectric, and sonic
instruments produced an equal amount of contamination that
contained bacteria as small as 0.65 μm. Despite different volumes of
coolant water, there is no difference in the amount of aerosols emitted.(
Gross KB et al. 1992.)
Another study found that the piezoelectric unit produced the greatest
amount of contamination because of the linear motion of the tip as
compared with magnetostrictive units. (Harrel SK et al. 1998)
A greater production of aerosols and spatter also was observed in some
of the precision thin inserts when compared with standard inserts.
129
POLISHING INSTRUMENTS

133
DENTAL ENDOSCOPEDental endoscope is a long, flexible tubular device that has a fiber optic light and
video camera attached.
The dental endoscope is about 1 m in length and 0.99 mm in diameter .
The dental endoscope allows for subgingival visualization of the root surface at
magnifications of 20x to 40x .
The endoscope is attached to a flat-screen monitor that provides a highly magnified
picture of subgingival conditions.
These has been introduced recently for use subgingivally in the diagnosis and
treatment of periodontal disease.
This device allows clear visualization deeply into subgingival pockets and furcations.
The dental endoscope is not recommended for routine subgingivalinstrumentation because this process would be too time consuming.

In periodontal surgery because of the
interdental space,particularly between the
posterior teeth, long , large radius needles are
required which can easily be grasped again
after being introduced into the interdental
space on the opposite side.
Needle that 3/8 of a circle particularly suitable
for this purpose.
It is important that the needle have a triangular
cross –section. This makes it eaiser to insert
the needle and pass it through the tissue
because the needle cuts through the tissue
with its two outer cutting edge. The third
cutting is formed by the outer curvature.
NEEDLE HOLDER

The advancing abilities of instrument makers, coupled with the in-
genuity of dental practitioners, have provided the present
practitioner with a multitude of instrument designs capable of
reaching nearly every portion of the dentition.
In the past, complete sets of instruments frequently included so
many variations of angulation and were so numerous as to
preclude their general use.
177
However, some of the more efficient instruments from
these sets have withstood the test of long-term use and
now appear and reappear in newly created instrument
sets.

INSTRUMENT FOR IMPLANT SURGERY
219
Bone expander An alternative to osteotomes
Bone expander drills for the expansion andcondensing of the atrophic mandible andmaxilla in preparation for dental implantinsertions. Expanders are also an alternative tothe maxillary sinus elevation technique.
Expanders are driven into the bone with aratchet wrench or low speed hand piece. Thisdecreases the surgical trauma of osteotomes.Bone expanders improve the clinical success byimproving stability, maintaining bone densityand increasing fixation.
The Bone expander Kit includes 5 color-codedbone expanders (2.6, 3.0, 3.4, 3.8 and 4.3mm), aratchet wrench, a ratchet wrench extender, apilot drill, a 10mm saw, a hand piece latchadapter, and a thumb knob for finger usage.

MAXILLAY SINUS FLOOR AUGMANTATION
224
Maxillary sinus floor augmentation Also termed sinus lift, sinus graft, sinus
augmentation or sinus procedure is a surgicalprocedure .
The goal of the sinus lift is to graft extra bone intothe maxillary sinus, so more bone is available tosupport a dental implant.
Lateral Window approach (opening a window in theanterolateral sinus wall) - done by Tatum inFebruary, 1975
225
Sinus Lift Curettes have spoons with smooth non-cutting edges and are available in various shankconfigurations and spoon widths to detach the delicatesinus membrane from lateral walls.

Lateral window(DIRECT SINUS LIFT) This technique is usually the preferred method of
sinus elevation in situations of poor bone quality and minimal residual bone height because it allows for direct visualization and accurate bone placement and volume at the position of the implant. Also, tearing of the membrane can be easily treated, minimizing contamination of the graft during healing
228
Direct sinus lift instrument Sinus curette 1 (de marco curette) are
introduced along the inferior, anterior,
posterior, and superior aspects of the
prepared antrostomy window, gradually
inserting further along the bone until the
membrane begins to separate and lift away
from the bone.
Gracy curette 13/14 are gently introduced
along the bone to continue lifting the
membrane to the desired levels (height,
width, and depth)

Sinus Lift Balloon The sinus lift balloons come in 3 different configurations (straight, angled, and
micro-mini).
while inflating the balloon with the syringe: 1cc of saline equals 6mm of
membrane elevation
Graft material required is in direct proportion to the amount of fluid used to
inflate the balloon: 1cc of fluid will require 1cc of graft material.
Straight model: The straight model features a 3.1mm diameter shaft and has a
4cc capacity.
Angled Model: The angled model also has a 3.1mm shaft and 4cc capacity.
Micro-Mini Model: The micro-mini model has a 1.9mm shaft and has a 1.5cc
capacity.
232
Sinus Lift Balloon allows for improved vertical sinus elevation results
and gives clinicians added security when performing a traditional
lateral wall sinus lift procedure — protecting the Schneiderian
membrane from tearing, which can significantly disrupt an implant
case.
The balloon instrument is also well-suited for effectively measuring
the required bone grafting material. For example, 1cc of saline, which
is used to inflate the balloon, is equal to 1cc of grafting material.
The angled design is ideal for lateral window procedures.
The straight model is well suited for a crestal approach, and the
popular micro-mini design can be used for either of these indications.
233
Water Lift System for Hydrostatic Sinus Lift
Use the Hydro (Water) Lift system to reduce the risk of Schneiderian membrane perforation during the sinus membrane lifting operation. The system uses the proven technique of hydrostatic sinus lift, to provide evenly distributed hydraulic pressure during sinus membrane elevation, thus ensuring the safety of the procedure.

"The Osseo-Tip Bone Grafter proved to be an effective way to harvest sufficient quantities of autogenous bone without the need to employ a bone mill or morselizer. It allowed for bone to be harvested in a safe and rapid manner with no hand fatigue.
Osseous Collectors
It is a fast, easy, way to harvest valuable autogenousbone that can be used to correct small defects around dental implants and periodontal compromised teeth.
The Osseous Collector features a unique shut-off valve that allows to shut off the suction .
Included with each collector are two filters.
The unit is disposable, no cleaning is required.

Bone Scraper Osseous Glider The Osseous Glider is available in Straight or Angled
Versions.
The straight Osseous Glider is recommended for the ramus, symphasis and tuberosity areas and angled Osseous Glider is optimized for the external oblique ridge.
The bone scraper enables you to scrape, collect and transplant the patient’s own bone. The bone is collected in a chamber during the scraping and at the sametime the bone is being mixed with blood. The bone material can be implanted directly out of the bone-scraper whichhas been sterilized before.
