Called rezSHARP, this new set of scalers and curettes from TBS Dental are said to offer practitioners more value by staying shaper longer for optimal scaling and root planing. These instruments use aerospace-grade stainless steel that is said to offer clinicians both quality and durability, according to TBS Dental. The rezSHARP instruments also feature a twist handle that is specifically designed to reduce fatigue for clinicians, improving the overall ergonomics of the product while also increasing maneuverability. The unique twist handle provides optimal grip for longer procedures, with a knurling pattern that provides balance. That aerospace-grade steel is grinded and crafted down for the level of sharpness that clinicians may desire for the removal of hard deposits and calculus. The silicone used in the grip also ensures comfort for everyday patient care. Made in house, the rezSHARP series of scalers and curettes aims to provide an instrument experience that stays sharper longer without sacrificing the clinician’s comfort or the integrity of their work. rezSHARP offerings include universal curettes and sickle scalers, anterior sickle scalers, posterior sickle scalers, area specific gracey curettes, area specific AF gracey curettes, and calculus explorers.
