Tissue Trimmer
The Soft Tissue Trimmer, is a flame shaped hard oxide ceramic cylinder.
It is used in the high-speed handpiece at full RPM without water coolant spray to excise and contour soft gingival tissue with minimal bleeding.
Unlike radio-surgery or electro-surgery, there is little risk of over-heating the surgical site and compromising the bone.
This trimmer should be thought of as a rotating scalpel for soft tissue that promotes coagulation for minimal bleeding.
Indications
Contouring of gingiva
Contouring of inflamed gingival soft tissue
Exposing deep cervical caries or external resorption
