Check out this great video tutorial, Dental Hand Instrument Sharpening, which was created by one of our trained veterinary nurses. Share this video with your staff to ensure your instruments are always performing at peak efficiency in all your dental procedures:

Instruments should be kept sharp and true to their original design. Dental procedures are most effective when using sharp instruments because they reduce fatigue, improve deposit removal, save time and improve tactile sensitivity.

Repeated use of an instrument wears away minute particles of metal from the blade causing the cutting edge to take on a rounded shape resulting in a dull, ineffective blade.

When a blade is dull, the clinician loses the ability to ‘feel’ the sharp edge ‘grabbing’ onto a surface. It may then seem that the blade is ‘sliding’ over the surface or deposit which causes the clinician to work harder to remove deposits. For best results, instruments should be sharpened lightly after each use.
