14/15 Jacquette Scaler Instrument

The 14/15 Jacquette Scaler Instrument is a professional periodontal scaling instrument designed for controlled removal of supragingival calculus and deposits during routine dental hygiene and prophylaxis procedures. Jacquette scalers are commonly used for removing calculus from tooth surfaces above the gingival margin. The instrument features a pointed, triangular cross-section working end with sharp cutting edges designed to engage and remove tenacious deposits. The 14/15 configuration provides a double-ended working arrangement, allowing the clinician to select the appropriate end for access to different tooth surfaces. This design helps reduce the need to change instruments during a procedure and supports efficient clinical workflow. The working ends are designed for controlled adaptation to the tooth surface. Proper instrument selection, angulation, adaptation, and controlled lateral pressure should be maintained according to professional dental scaling technique. The 14/15 Jacquette scaler can be used for supragingival calculus removal, dental prophylaxis, routine scaling, and periodontal maintenance . It is particularly appropriate for deposits that can be effectively accessed above the gingival margin. The instrument is typically manufactured from dental-grade stainless steel , providing strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. Depending on the handle configuration, it can be suitable for repeated cleaning, sterilization, and professional clinical use. An ergonomic handle can provide improved grip and tactile control during instrumentation. Handle designs vary according to the manufacturer and product series. Before use, inspect the instrument for damaged or worn working ends. Sharp cutting edges should be maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommended sharpening procedure to preserve the intended geometry and performance.
