Jacquette Scaler 34/35

The Jacquette Scaler 34/35 features mirror-image working ends with blade lengths measuring 4mm and blade widths of 0.9mm. Also known as the 2S/3S pattern, this miniature double-ended instrument weighs approximately 13 grams when constructed with resin handles. The triangular blades incorporate dual cutting edges that converge at pointed tips, with straight blade geometry designed for posterior interproximal access. Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument includes knurled handle patterns with criss-cross texturing that extends to the tapered junction where handle meets shank.

The compact blade dimensions distinguish Jacquette Dental Scaler 34/35 instruments from standard 31/32 models, which feature 5mm blade lengths. This reduced profile allows clinicians to navigate narrow embrasures between posterior teeth without compromising leverage or control. Available with solid resin or hollow metal handle options, the instrument maintains edge sharpness through repeated autoclave sterilization cycles. The straight blade configuration and optimized angulation provide direct access to restricted posterior areas where larger scalers cannot adapt properly.

Dental hygienists use the Jacquette Scaler 34/35 during prophylaxis appointments to remove heavy calculus deposits from tight interproximal spaces between premolars and molars. Clinicians position the blade at the contact area, then execute short vertical or oblique strokes to fracture deposits from supragingival tooth surfaces. Periodontal Curette Jacquette 34/35 patterns work effectively in narrow sulcular regions where standard-sized instruments cause tissue blanching or cannot achieve proper adaptation. The miniature design also serves general dentists during finishing procedures for removing excess composite material from posterior restorations.

Leader Surgical manufactures this instrument with dimensional controls that verify blade length, width, and angulation specifications before distribution. Their production standards ensure consistent performance across thousands of scaling procedures, giving dental professionals reliable tools for routine prophylaxis appointments in general practices and periodontal maintenance programs where precision access to posterior interproximal areas determines clinical outcomes.

Can the 34/35 Jacquette be used subgingivally (below the gum line)?
While curettes (which have a rounded toe and semi-circular cross-section) are ideal for subgingival use, scalers (which have a pointed tip and a triangular cross-section) are not. The use of a scaler below the gum line is likely to damage the gingiva (gum). Some sources mention its use for heavier subgingival deposits in small posterior areas, but generally it’s considered supragingival.
