The Fedi periodontal chisel is made for recontouring interproximal bone during osseous surgery, where a rotary instrument cannot reach. Helmut Zepf makes it in 3 configurations plus 1 replacement insert, all in Germany, and every one on this page ships from our US warehouse.
Which Fedi Periodontal Chisel Do You Need?
Clinical Use of the Fedi Periodontal Chisel
- Recontouring interproximal bone during osseous surgery, where a rotary instrument cannot reach.
-
Control: keep a firm finger rest and use short, controlled strokes; these are hand instruments for precise work, not for force.
-
Sharpness: a dull edge crushes tissue instead of cutting it; check the edge before each case.
Versions, Coatings and Handles
Interchangeable inserts fit the M4 × 0.5 mm and M2.5 Zepf handle systems (ZEPF-bIONIK QUICKFIX, Z-SHAPE Relax, ZEPF-Line) and change with the Zepf safety key.
Sharpening, Retipping and Inserts
An instrument earns its keep only while it is sharp. Zepf instruments can be sharpened in the practice, sent to our sharpening and reconditioning service, or, on the interchangeable-insert versions, renewed in seconds by swapping the working ends. Sharpening stones and oil are in the diagnostic range.
Warranty and Our Guarantee
Every Zepf instrument on this page carries a one-year Helmut Zepf Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. And because an instrument can only be judged in the hand, you have 60 days to return it for any reason — even after you have used it. Try it on real patients; if it is not the instrument for you, send it back.
