The field of dentistry relies on sharpness in myriad ways. Without a doubt, every practicing clinician needs to have a sharp eye to provide accurate diagnoses and successful treatments. They must possess sharp time management skills to complete their tasks and appointments on schedule, as well as stay sharp on the latest techniques and advancements in their industry to continue providing the best patient care.
With that, the sharpest clinicians also require sharp dental instruments, and American Eagle Instruments’ XP Sharpen-Free line of curettes and scalers have strong, wear-resistant edges that ensure a razor-sharp, ready-to-use instrument at any moment.
Durable by Design
Through a patented surface-engineering process, XP technology imbues a hardened layer of titanium nitride and carbon with stainless steel. This changes the instrument’s metallurgic composition, creating a sharper and more durable blade surface that requires zero sharpening.
“Sharpening instruments takes a lot of time and can be challenging if not done frequently enough,” said Lauren Kanzigg, RDH, who has years of experience working in clinical, educational, and corporate settings. “That’s what makes the XP Sharpen-Free instruments so wonderful. Their longevity is the same as—or better than—traditional stainless-steel instruments but you don’t have to sharpen them, so you’re saving time while keeping yourself and your patients safe.”
Greater Comfort and Control
Additionally, XP Sharpen-Free instruments feature a slim profile for easy access to any area of the mouth as well as greater tactile control during calculus removal. Clinicians can use less force and a lighter grip with exploratory scaling strokes, effectively improving user ergonomics as well.
“It’s great having XP Sharpen-Free instruments because they help save my hand from fatigue while helping with patient comfort,” said Kristi Evansen, RDH. “They effectively remove calculus with less effort on my part.”
She concluded, “XP Sharpen-Free instruments are generally helpful for all appointments, thanks to their ease of use and ability to make the experience more pleasant for everyone.”
