Why dentists choose ErgoDenta for Hoe Scalers
Hoe scalers are the heavy artillery for gross supragingival debridement and mature calculus ledges. Their straight, single-edged blades chisel off deposits efficiently when a curette would slow you down.
Our hoes are forged from hardened stainless steel for durable cutting edges and come on balanced ErgoDenta handles that tolerate the extra lateral pressure this instrument demands.
Frequently asked about Periodontics
Which Gracey curette goes in which sextant?
1-2 anterior, 3-4 anterior, 5-6 anterior/premolar, 7-8 posterior buccal/lingual, 9-10 posterior buccal/lingual, 11-12 posterior mesial, 13-14 posterior distal, 15-16 posterior modified mesial, 17-18 posterior modified distal.
Standard, Rigid, Mini or Titanium — what is the difference?
Standard for routine scaling, Rigid for heavier calculus removal, Mini for tight pockets and furcations, Titanium specifically for implant maintenance (will not scratch the implant surface).
How often should curettes be sharpened or replaced?
Sharpen after every 10-15 patients with a fine ceramic stone. Replace once the working edge falls below 50% of original — usually 12-18 months in steady use. Our ErgoRazor® line holds an edge longer.
Are universal curettes a substitute for Graceys?
No — universal curettes (Columbia 13/14, Younger-Good 7/8) work in all sextants but at the cost of site-specific blade angulation. Graceys give better access at the expense of needing more pieces in the cassette.
