Details

Highly adaptive throughout the anatomy, the PDT Queen of Hearts™ is a periodontal curette with a long, fine cutting edge for finishing and a completely smooth surface when root planing.

Capable of reaching furcations and difficult-to-reach root concavities, the 6mm cutting edge slides easily into deep pockets.

Research has consistently shown that people with periodontal disease are twice as likely to suffer from cardiovascular/cerebrovascular disease. Hygienists are the first line of defence against such diseases.

The Queen of Hearts™ periodontal curette, with its long fine cutting edges for finishing and completely smooth surface for root planing, is the perfect tool for helping to bring your patient one step closer to better overall health.

Allowing increased access thanks to the longer reach of the blades, the Queen of Hearts aids in the removal of deposits left by non-overlapping strokes that other instrument designs fail to reach.

The instrument permits unrivalled adaptation from the buccal for the mesial furcations of the upper molars and especially on the mesial of the maxillary first bicuspid.

Unique in design, the blades allow the instrument to be used sub-gingivally on the trickiest root surfaces throughout the entire mouth. This helps to reduce potential tissue trauma and improve patient comfort.

Why Choose the Queen of Hearts?

  • Finer finishing
  • Increased access
  • Unrivalled adaptation
  • Unique blade design
  • Improve patient comfort

For every Queen of Hearts™ purchased, PDT will donate to the American Heart Association.

Handle Design

Weighing just 13 grams, PDT instruments are amongst the lightest on the market. Each instrument handle is made of solid resin that is both lightweight and durable.

The unique pattern on PDT instruments is known as knurling. PDT’s knurling features a criss-cross pattern with wider gaps between the grooves. This configuration allows for thorough cleaning as particles and debris are easily dislodged during sterilisation.

The knurling extends to the tapered end of the handle where it meets the shank; this provides complete tactile sensitivity. The changing pattern gives you greater rotational control - even when wet - and better pull force with a feather touch.

This ergonomic design allows maximum comfort and significantly reduces strain on the fingers and wrists, reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders over time.

Steel

PDT instrument tips are made from high-quality, 440A-grade stainless steel. Type 440A is a higher grade of cutlery steel with more carbon, allowing for better edge retention when properly heat-treated.

Over the years, PDT has developed a unique heat treatment and cryogenics formula to improve the quality of its steel tips. PDT instruments average a Rockwell C hardness of 59.

This results in sharper, harder, thinner blades that last longer and require far less sharpening.

All delivery costs vary depending on the total weight of your order.
