The dental instruments you use are a critical extension of your skill, so they need to perform consistently with every patient, every day. At GDC, every instrument, from its proprietary metal to the uniquely and textured handle design, is created with one purpose—to help you perform at your best.
A periodontal probe is an instrument in dentistry commonly used in the dental armamentarium. It is usually long, thin, and blunted at the end.
Periotomes are dental instruments used to cut periodontal ligaments for atraumatic tooth extractions and dental implant placement. They have thin, sharp blades to facilitate the removal of teeth with minimal damage to surrounding alveolar bone.
Periodontal scalers are dental instruments used in the prophylactic and periodontal care of teeth (most often human teeth), including scaling and root planing.
Peridontal Knives(Kirkland Knives) are used for incisions on the facial and lingual surfaces and those distal to the terminal tooth in the arch. Orban peridontal knives are used for supplemental interdental incisions.
Periodontal Files used for removing very hard dental plaque, concrementations, and deposit on root surfaces and for smoothing.
• Goldman-Fox Periodontal Pocket Markers are used to establish exterior puncture marks on gingiva at the pocketbase to indicate initial line of incision.
Blade Holder designed to hold surgical knives during operative procedures.
Subgingival scaling involves the removal of subgingival calculus from the tooth surface. This can be from the enamel (crown) or from the root cementum surface, in which case it is termed root planing.
Gracey Curettes are special Curettes that have just a single working surface or cutting edge, and are thus suitable for removing concrementations or dental plaque only.
Gracey Curettes are special Curettes that have just a single working surface or cutting edge, and are thus suitable for removing concrementations or dental plaque only.
Langer Curette is used to remove the accumulated plaque film on the implant necks.
GDC Columbia Curette have two working surfaces or cutting edges, and thus allow using the same instrument on teeth's mesial and distal surfaces.
Surgical Curette used in the socket of an extracted tooth to remove debris and infectious material.Bone file is used to remove and smooth sharp pieces of alveolar bone remaining after extraction.
