Nevi Scaler Curette is a periodontal hand instrument used for removing calculus deposits and performing scaling around the teeth and gingival margins. It is considered a combination scaler–curette instrument, meaning it can work both for supragingival scaling and light subgingival cleaning.
The Nevi scaler curette typically has a curved working end with sharp cutting edges and a rounded toe, which allows the clinician to adapt the instrument to different tooth surfaces while reducing trauma to the surrounding soft tissue. Its design makes it useful for general periodontal debridement, especially in areas where both scaling and curetting actions are required.
Main Characteristics
-
Scaler–curette combination design
-
Sharp cutting edges for calculus removal
-
Rounded or slightly curved tip for better adaptation
-
Used for supragingival and light subgingival scaling
Clinical Use
Dental professionals use the Nevi scaler curette during periodontal cleaning procedures to remove plaque, calculus, and debris, helping maintain healthy gums and tooth surfaces.
Nevi 1 Scaler Curette and Nevi 1/H5 Scaler Curette are instruments used mainly for scaling and calculus removal in anterior teeth. They belong to the scaler–curette family, combining features that allow both supragingival scaling and light subgingival cleaning.
Nevi 1 (Anterior)
This instrument is designed specifically for anterior teeth (incisors and canines). It has a fine working end with cutting edges and a rounded or slightly pointed tip, allowing effective removal of calculus and plaque around the cervical area of anterior teeth. It is commonly used for routine scaling and periodontal maintenance.
Nevi 1 / H5 (Anterior)
This is a double-ended instrument that combines two working tips:
-
Nevi 1 end: used for scaling and curetting on anterior surfaces.
-
H5 scaler end: a sickle scaler tip designed for supragingival calculus removal, especially in anterior interproximal areas.
Key Differences
-
Nevi 1: curette-type working end mainly for cleaning and smoothing.
-
Nevi 1/H5: combination instrument that allows both scaling (H5) and curetting (Nevi 1) with the same tool.
These instruments are widely used in periodontal hygiene procedures because they allow efficient calculus removal in the anterior region while maintaining good access and control.
