Also called Dental Scaler Set
Built from sickle-pattern blades - triangular in cross-section and tapering to a point with two cutting edges - rather than the rounded-toe curette blades that subgingival patterns use instead.
A boxed set of hand scaling instruments for removing calculus from the tooth surface above the gumline, sold as a matched range of tip shapes rather than as one pattern. Each piece has a handle and a working end shaped as a sickle, hoe or chisel; a sickle tip is a pointed, triangular cross-section blade with two cutting edges meeting at its point, a hoe tip has one straight edge set across the shank, and a chisel tip has a straight edge in line with the handle. What makes it a 'set' rather than a single scaler is the box holding several tip patterns together.

How it is built
- Boxed set of single-ended or double-ended dental hand instruments, each with a handle and a scaler-pattern working end
- Sickle-pattern tips: triangular cross-section blade with two cutting edges meeting at a point, for anterior and interproximal surfaces
- Hoe-pattern tips: single straight cutting edge set at an angle across the shank
- Chisel-pattern tips: straight cutting edge in line with the handle axis, pushed rather than drawn
- Handles are round or hexagonal knurled stainless steel, sized for a pen grip

Why this article has no size range
This is supplied as a set: a fixed list of instruments in a tray, cassette or pouch. A set is defined by which instruments it contains and how many of each, not by a manufactured length, so no size range is published for it. Tell us the list you need and we will quote against it.
This describes the scaler set as an article. 2 other articles in this catalog share it: the sentence above is what separates this one. This describes the article. The steel, the finish and the inspection step are set by the line you order.
Material and quality
| Line | Steel | Origin | Finish | Inspection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy line | AISI 410 | Pakistani or Taiwanese | satin, passivated | sample: visual + dimensional |
| Clinical line | AISI 420 | Pakistani or German | satin, passivated | sample + boil test |
| Premium line | AISI 420-440C | German or Japanese | fine polish, passivated | tighter sample + hardness test |
| Executive line | AISI 440C | German or Japanese | mirror polish, passivated | 100% inspection + laser mark |
This is the steel each line is made from as standard. A different origin can be supplied on request (a lower grade in Japanese steel, for example), agreed on your order.
Premium is the line where the choice is yours: 420 or 440C, agreed on your order. Economy is always 410 and Executive is always 440C. Those three are the instrument steels. Hollowware and sterilization containers are made in AISI 202 on a Clinical order and AISI 304 on a Premium or Executive one, and they are not offered in the Economy line at all, which is the section above.
True of every order
Instruments are marked to the buyer's requirement (TGI, unmarked, or the buyer's own brand), agreed on the order.
Customized packaging is part of what TGI supplies. Your own printed boxes, your labels, your brand on the pack, or plain export packing, whichever your market needs. The packing for your order is agreed with you and confirmed on the order.
Manufactured under the quality management system covered by TGI's ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certificates. Certificate numbers and the issuer's registry are on the certification page. Open the certificates
Every batch of steel is ordered to a specified grade and arrives with the mill's own certificate, which identifies the mill and states the grade. TGI checks the material at the factory against its own requirement before it goes into production. That check is TGI's own inspection, not an independent laboratory test.
TGI manufactures in its own factory in Sialkot and also supplies articles made by contracted partner workshops, to TGI's specification. Which applies to a given article is confirmed on your order.
