Designed for soft-tissue surgery, the STT ceramic tissue trimmer is a rotary instrument that can be used as an alternative to electrosurgery and surgical blades. The biocompatible hard oxide point is said to cut tissue without burning. Applications include modeling gingiva, opening the sulcus for impression, freeing deep cavities, lacerating inter-radicular granulation-tissue, removing gingival hyperplasia/papillectomies, and exposing intra-osseous implant sections and retinated teeth. Advantages: The special porcelain of the working section separates the tissue and reduces bleeding (coagulation). Reduced heat build-up prevents necroses during treatment. The high stability of the Soft Tissue Trimmer allows rapid, safe gingival preparation. To be used without any water/spray cooling!
