Manual dental scalers are hand-held instruments used by dental professionals to remove plaque, tartar, and other deposits from teeth and gum surfaces during cleanings and periodontal treatments. Their pointed tips allow precise access between teeth and under the gumline, helping to prevent gum disease and maintain oral health.
These reusable devices are typically made from high-grade stainless steel and come in single- or double-ended designs. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as medical devices and subject to safety and performance standards before market entry. Availability depends on local dental practice requirements and supply chains.
