First, the fulcrum finger rests on a tooth to support the clinician’s hand, then at the initiation of a stroke, the clinician will press down on the fulcrum finger to further gain control.[1] It is crucial to tilt the lower shank of the periodontal scaler slightly towards the tooth surface being worked on to obtain correct angulation.[4] This ensures that a 70º-80º angulation is achieved between the tooth surface and the face of the instrument.[4] The instrument is then walked across the surface being worked on with short, controlled, overlapping strokes while applying moderate pressure.[4] Overall, the working-end of the instrument is only moving a few millimeters at a time.[4] Simultaneously, the clinician must roll the handle of the instrument to maintain adaptation throughout, to prevent any soft tissue injury.[4] After completing a calculus removal stroke, the clinician may then utilize an assessment stoke, characterized by feather-light pressure, to judge the removal of the calculus deposit.[4] These steps are repeated until the complete removal of calculus is achieved throughout the entire dentition.
