{"title":"M23 Sickle Scaler","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eM23 \/ M23A\u003c\/strong\u003e is an universal sickle scaler: a triangular blade with two cutting edges that come to a point, made for supragingival plaque and calculus on upper and lower posterior teeth; the M23A tip is shaped for the interdental spaces of the molar region. 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.
