periodontal chisel

periodontal chisel
a straight instrument that curves slightly as the blade extends from the shank, the straight cutting edge at the end of the instrument being beveled at a 45° angle. Used chiefly for scaling the proximal surfaces of teeth too closely spaced to permit the use of other scalers. Called also chisel scaler.
