{"title":"204S Sickle Scaler","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e204S\u003c\/strong\u003e is a posterior sickle scaler: a triangular blade with two cutting edges that come to a point, made for supragingival and light interdental calculus on premolars and molars, with a contra-angled shank for reach. Sickle scalers are supragingival instruments; the pointed tip that lets them lift calculus from the enamel is also why they stay above the gingival margin.

beyond 5 mm and along narrow root surfaces. \u003cstrong\u003eNANOPAL\u003c\/strong\u003e is a surface coating that leaves the instrument smoother and more corrosion-resistant, so it resists staining and reprocesses more easily. \u003cstrong\u003eTitanium\u003c\/strong\u003e working ends are for use around implants, where steel would mark the implant surface. The \u003cstrong\u003eZEPF-bIONIK\u003c\/strong\u003e handle is Zepf’s ergonomic, colour-coded handle with a textured grip that reduces hand fatigue. The \u003cstrong\u003eZ-SHAPE Relax\u003c\/strong\u003e handle is contoured for a relaxed modified pen grasp and takes interchangeable inserts.
