The popular use of titanium and titanium alloy implants require regular maintenance to ensure the longevity and success of the implant. Due to the soft titanium surface, using metal cleaning instruments can cause scratching of the delicate implant structure resulting in plaque accumulation, which may in turn cause damage to the soft tissue. KerrHawe have developed a solution with the Implant Deplaquer instruments. They are made of high-tech plastic, with sufficient strength to remove plaque and calculus from the implant neck without leaving scratch marks. These specially designed, autoclaveable instruments can be sharpened in the usual manner and the perfectly shaped instrument blade allows implants to be cleaned from all sides.
