Sharpening Unit

For the dental instruments to work properly – be they Luxators, Elevators, Periosteal Elevators, they must be sharp. Blunt instruments cause a lot more tissue trauma – both by simply being blunt, but also because they end up with more force being applied – this can lead to slipping and damaging adjacent tissues. By sharpening (or really “honing” – just fine tuning the blades) instruments regularly, we try and ensure that the best patient care is provided.
