Curettes

Sickle Scalers: These typically have a sharp, pointed tip and a triangular cross-section. They are used primarily for removing heavy tartar from the supragingival area (the part of the tooth you can see above the gums).
Textured Handles: The handles feature "knurling" (a cross-hatched pattern) to ensure the clinician has a steady, non-slip grip, which is essential for precision and patient safety.
Calculus Removal: These tools are used to "flick" or scrape away hard mineral deposits that cannot be removed by regular brushing.
