Scalers

Scalers remove calculus from tooth surfaces. Working-end form and angulation, pattern number, and handle configuration identify the variant.

Buyers should record the exact pattern and working dimensions, then define edge condition and finish acceptance. Area-specific scalers should be referenced separately.
