Types of Periodontal Instruments We Offer

Fortec International Inc provides a complete selection of professional periodontal dental tools for clinics and dental hygienists across Canada.

Sickle Scalers

Designed for supragingival calculus removal along gingival margins. Pointed tips and curved blades enable effective scaling in interproximal spaces — available in standard, premium, economical, and disposable options.

Periodontal Curettes

Used for subgingival scaling and root surface debridement. Rounded toes and cutting edges provide safe and effective plaque and calculus removal — including Kramer-Nevins, Columbia, Younger-Good, and more.

Universal Curettes

Versatile instruments suitable for use on all tooth surfaces. Dual cutting edges allow efficient scaling throughout the entire mouth, reducing the number of instrument changes needed during treatment.

Periodontal Files

Designed to crush and break down tenacious calculus deposits before final removal. Sugarman and Schluger files improve treatment efficiency in areas with heavy or stubborn calculus buildup.

Periodontal Chisels

Engineered for removing heavy calculus, particularly in interproximal areas. Straight, sharp cutting edges allow controlled and precise scaling — including Rhodes Back-Action and Kramer-Nevis chisel designs.

Periodontal Knives

Used for gingival trimming and periodontal surgical procedures. Sharp, narrow blades allow precise incisions and improved access to treatment areas during flap surgery and gingivectomy procedures.

Handle Sizes

Available in multiple handle sizes to suit different hand preferences and clinical techniques. Proper handle selection improves grip, control, and comfort during extended periodontal procedures.

Disposable Sickle Scalers

Single-use disposable scalers for practices prioritizing infection control convenience. The Disposable NANO 3 Posterior offers professional-grade scaling performance without sterilization turnaround time.

Premium Sickle Scalers

Premium-grade sickle scalers crafted for superior sharpness retention, balance, and long-term clinical performance. Ideal for practices that demand the highest standards in instrument quality and durability.

Why Professional Periodontal Instruments Matter in Every Clinic

Precision periodontal instruments are fundamental to effective gum disease prevention, treatment, and long-term patient outcomes. Here's how Fortec's range supports your clinic at every step:

Accurate Supragingival & Subgingival Scaling Instruments like sickle scalers and periodontal curettes enable thorough calculus removal both above and below the gumline for comprehensive periodontal care.

Effective Calculus Breakdown Periodontal files such as Sugarman and Schluger designs crush and break down heavy deposits, preparing tooth surfaces for final debridement and improving overall treatment efficiency.

Surgical Precision & Access Periodontal knives and chisels provide the sharp, narrow blades needed for precise incisions, flap procedures, and interproximal access during advanced periodontal surgery.

Ergonomic Comfort for Extended Procedures Multiple handle size options allow clinicians to select instruments that match their grip preference, reducing hand fatigue during long scaling and root planing appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our periodontal instruments — sickle scalers, curettes, files, chisels, knives, and more.

01 What types of periodontal instruments does Fortec carry?

Fortec's periodontal instruments collection includes 70 products across seven main categories: sickle scalers, periodontal curettes, universal curettes, periodontal files, periodontal chisels, periodontal knives, and multiple handle sizes. Sickle scalers are further split into disposable, economical, standard, and premium tiers. Pricing ranges from $3.00 for a single disposable scaler up to $28.00 for premium instruments, with 67 of the 70 products currently in stock.

02 What is the difference between sickle scalers and periodontal curettes?

Sickle scalers are designed primarily for supragingival calculus removal — working above and at the gumline. They have a triangular cross-section with two cutting edges and a pointed tip, making them ideal for interproximal spaces and heavy deposits along gingival margins. Instruments like the Sickle Scaler 6/7 ($13.75), 204s ($18.15), Jacquette 14/15 ($12.50), and H6/H7 Hygienist ($12.50) fall into this category. Periodontal curettes, such as the Kramer-Nevins series and Columbia curettes, are used for subgingival scaling and root surface debridement — they have a rounded toe and back, making it safe to work below the gumline without damaging soft tissue.

03 What sickle scaler tiers does Fortec offer and how do they differ?

Fortec divides its sickle scaler range into four tiers. Disposable Sickle Scalers — such as the Disposable NANO 3 Posterior ($3.00) — are single-use instruments suited for practices that prioritize infection control convenience without sterilization turnaround. Economical Sickle Scalers offer a budget-conscious entry point for clinics managing costs without sacrificing basic performance. Standard Sickle Scalers — including the popular Nano 3 Posterior ($12.50), Nano 2S Short Angle ($12.50), and Jacquette 14/15 ($12.50) — cover everyday clinical needs with reliable quality. Premium Sickle Scalers like the Sickle-scalers 204s ($18.15) offer superior sharpness retention, balance, and extended durability for high-volume practices.

04 What periodontal curettes does Fortec stock and when is each used?

Fortec's periodontal curettes include both area-specific and universal designs. The Kramer-Nevins 1 ($17.60), Kramer-Nevins 3 ($16.00), and Kramer-Nevins 3/4 ($19.00) are area-specific curettes designed for targeted subgingival debridement in defined tooth regions — the numbering indicates working end configuration. The Columbia 4R/4L Posterior ($13.75) and Columbia 13/14 ($13.75) are among the most widely used curettes globally, with rigid shanks suited for heavy calculus removal in posterior areas. The Younger-Good 7/8 ($12.50) is a universal curette with a moderately flexible shank — a versatile choice for both anterior and posterior scaling. All feature rounded toes for safe subgingival access.

05 What are universal curettes and how do they differ from area-specific curettes?

Universal curettes — including the standard universal curette range from Fortec — have two cutting edges on a single blade and a face angled at 90° to the lower shank, allowing them to be used on all tooth surfaces (anterior and posterior, facial and lingual) with a single instrument by adjusting hand position. This contrasts with area-specific curettes like the Gracey series, where each instrument is ground to work optimally on one specific surface or region. Universal curettes are the preferred choice for clinicians who want fewer instruments per procedure and versatile, efficient scaling across the full mouth.

06 What periodontal files does Fortec carry and what are they used for?

Fortec's periodontal files are used to crush and fracture heavy, tenacious calculus deposits before final removal with curettes or scalers — particularly useful in areas with long-standing, calcified buildup. The range includes the 3S/4S Sugarman File Buccal/Lingual ($25.30), 1S/2S Sugarman File Medial/Distal ($25.30), and 9/10 Schluger Curved File ($25.30). The Sugarman files are designed with angled working ends for buccal/lingual and medial/distal surface access respectively. The Schluger curved file provides access to curved root surfaces and furcation areas. All three are priced at $25.30 and carry high in-stock volumes.

07 What periodontal chisels does Fortec offer and when are they used clinically?

Periodontal chisels are used for removing heavy supragingival calculus — particularly large, ledge-like deposits in interproximal anterior regions — with a push stroke. Fortec stocks the 36/37 Rhodes Back-Action Chisel ($17.60), the 1/2 Kramer-Nevis Chisel ($17.42), and broader chisels within the collection. The Rhodes Back-Action design features a curved, back-action blade that allows the instrument to engage calculus on the mesial surface while pulling toward the clinician, providing better visibility and control. The Kramer-Nevis Chisel has a straight cutting edge suited for broad, flat deposits on anterior teeth. Both are well-stocked with 78–93 units available.

08 What are periodontal knives used for, and does Fortec carry them?

Yes — Fortec carries a dedicated range of periodontal knives as part of its full periodontal instrument category. Periodontal knives are used in surgical periodontal procedures such as gingivectomy, flap surgery, and gingival contouring. Their sharp, narrow blades allow precise incisions through gingival tissue with minimal trauma, and their varied blade shapes (interproximal, broad, curved) provide access to different areas of the surgical site. They are essential instruments in any practice that performs periodontal surgery or osseous procedures alongside non-surgical scaling and root planing.

09 Does Fortec ship periodontal instruments across Canada, and is there free shipping?

Yes — Fortec offers free Canada-wide shipping on all orders over $195 before taxes. Their warehouse is located in Mississauga, Ontario (1011 Hualtain Court, Unit 14, L4W 1W1), and they ship nationally to dental clinics, hygienists, dental schools, and distributors from coast to coast. Since most periodontal instruments are priced between $12.50 and $25.30, ordering a selection of scalers, curettes, and files together typically reaches the free shipping threshold easily. Full details are available on the Shipping Policy page.

10 How do I care for periodontal instruments, and what is Fortec's return and contact policy?

Fortec provides dedicated guidance for keeping instruments in optimal condition — visit the Instruments Care and Maintenance Care pages for full recommendations on cleaning, sterilization, sharpening, and storage. For return or order inquiries, refer to Fortec's Return Policy page. The customer care team is available Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM by phone at 1-855-790-7779 or by email at info@fortec.ca. It is recommended to inspect instruments upon arrival and contact the team promptly with any concerns.
