Implant Cleaning Scalers & Curettes

Implant cleaning devices, scalers, and curettes are specially fabricated keeping in view the safety of implant surfaces. Metal instruments used for periodontal care of natural teeth can damage the dental implant and crown surfaces. Instruments used for cleaning dental implant surface should not damage the crown, abutment, or the implant itself. It is important to maintain the highly polished, smooth surface of the abutment and crown. Scratches can attract and harbor microorganisms. In order to avoid scratches and damage to the implant and crown surface, implant scalers and curettes are made of plastics and resins. Powered ultrasonic instruments have nylon or plastic sheaths or tips to minimize implant damage. Skydentalsupply offer these implant friendly cleaners which achieve a smooth and polished surface through high frequency vibrations to remove large quantities of accumulated debris. These devices can be used on a low power setting with a lot of water irrigation, and sometimes antibacterial solutions, to clean and flush material.
