34/35 Jacquette Scaler

The 34/35 Jacquette Scaler is a specialized periodontal scaling instrument designed for the removal of supragingival calculus and deposits during routine dental hygiene and periodontal procedures. Jacquette scalers are commonly used as sickle-type scalers with pointed tips and sharp cutting edges. Their design allows dental professionals to access appropriate tooth surfaces and remove calculus deposits effectively during professional scaling procedures. The 34/35 pattern provides a specific working-end configuration intended for controlled adaptation to selected tooth surfaces. The triangular cross-section and pointed tip are characteristic features of Jacquette-style scalers, allowing the instrument to engage deposits while maintaining appropriate control. This scaler is primarily intended for supragingival scaling , where calculus and deposits are located above the gingival margin. It may be used during routine prophylaxis, periodontal maintenance, and dental hygiene appointments as clinically appropriate. An ergonomic handle can provide comfortable grip and tactile feedback during instrumentation, depending on the manufacturer’s design. The working end should be maintained properly to preserve its intended geometry and cutting efficiency. The instrument is typically manufactured from professional dental-grade stainless steel , offering durability, corrosion resistance, and reliable performance during repeated clinical use. Reusable instruments should be cleaned, inspected, sterilized, and maintained according to the manufacturer’s validated reprocessing instructions. Regular inspection of the working end is recommended to identify wear or damage. Exact dimensions, handle style, working-end geometry, and material specifications may vary by manufacturer.
