PERIODONTAL INSTRUMENTS:

Dental plaque and calculus have been the prime etiological factors of gum disease. This has been realized since the ancient times and various methods of removal of the bacterial biofilm have been advocated. Instruments have been specially designed to remove the calcular deposits and the biofilm. The Romans used scalper medicinalis and tooth scalers since the time of Celsus, who suggested that the stains on the teeth must be removed in order to prevent the progression of gingival and periodontal diseases. A Moorish physician, Albucasis in the late 1st century AD designed an elaborate set of 14 double ended instruments to remove these deposits on the teeth.

 

What are the different types of periodontal instruments?

Periodontics as a speciality of dentistry deals with the health of the structures surrounding the teeth such as the cementum, gingiva, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. These structures constitute the periodontium. The health of the dental periodontium is critical regular treatment involving removal of bacterial deposits from these areas is essential to ensure proper health of the periodontium. The following are the different instruments used in periodontics:

 

Periodontal Scalers:

Scalers are heavy instrument, usually double ended, which are employed in removal of calculus from the supragingival area. The different types of periodontal scalers include sickle scalers, hoe scalers, chisel scalers and posterior scalers. The sickle scalers are the most commonly used variants and they are used with a pull stroke. The basic characteristics of a sickle scaler include a triangular shape, a double cutting edge and a pointed sharp tip.  Hoe scalers are used to remove ledges and rings of calculus. They are used to remove deposits from the labial surfaces of anterior teeth. Chisel scalers are designed to remove calculus form the proximal surface of the teeth. They proximal regions do not permit the use of other scalers.   

 

Curettes:

Curettes are fine instruments that are used in the removal of subgingival deposits. They are used to carry out procedures such as subgingival scaling, root planning and removal of the soft tissue lining of the periodontal pocket. Curettes may be classified into universal and area specific curettes. Universal curettes can be used in any area. Both the cutting edges are used and the blade is curved in one plane. The face of the blade is at a 90 degree angle to the shank. The area specific curettes are indicated for use in specific areas. Only one cutting edges are used and they are curved in two planes. They have been designed and angled to adapt to specific anatomic areas of the teeth.

 

Periodontal Probes:

Periodontal probes are graduated probes that are used to locate, measure and mark periodontal pockets. They are also used in various other clinical diagnostic procedures such as assessment of gingival bleeding, measuring probing depths and others. Periodontal probes are usually long, thin and blunted at the working end of the instrument. The state of health of the periodontium can be assessed by using periodontal probes. The markings inscribed onto the head of the instrument are designed to make accurate and precise readings. Periodontal probes have been classified into 5 generations.

 

Periodontal Knives:

These knives are used in gingivectomy procedures. Types of periodontal knives include Kirkland knife, Merrifield knife and Orban interdental knife. The Kirkland knife is used for gingivectomy procedures. They are either single or double ended instruments. The entire periphery of the knifes is the cutting edge. Orbans knife and Merrifield knife are used for interdental areas. They are spear shaped and have cutting edges on both sides and are either double or single ended instruments.


Periodontal Files:

The primary function of periodontal files is to crush or fracture large deposits of tenacious calculus. They can roughen the root surface if not used properly, hence they are indicated for fine scaling procedures.
