MISSOULA, Mont.—American Eagle Instruments recently introduced the Boge 513 scaler to its line of product offerings.

The Boge 513 is a modified sickle/hoe scaler used to remove calculus in the dental prophylaxis process. The instrument is double-ended, and available only in sharpen-free XP Technology from American Eagle Instruments. Due to its angulation, it would be difficult to sharpen in-office. Producing it in sharpen-free XP is significantly beneficial to the clinician.

One end of the Boge 513 has an elongated shank and straight, slightly lipped cutting edge, which can easily remove tartar from areas where patients have fixed orthodontic wires and/or marginal recession with exposed root surfaces. The hoe has adequate width to maintain stabilization during vertical and horizontal working strokes. It easily adapts to both the upper and lower anterior intraoral regions, and in the posterior in areas with root surface exposure. The alternate end of the instrument is a Nebraska 128 sickle scaler, which is exceptional at reaching into tight interproximal contact areas, especially for patients who have crowding and/or recession. 
  
The Boge 513 was designed in partnership with Emily Boge, CDA, RDH, MPA. Boge serves as dental administrative chair at Hawkeye Community College. She is a graduate of both the Hawkeye dental assisting and dental hygiene programs, and went on to receive her bachelor’s in science and master’s in public administration healthcare from Upper Iowa University.  

Prior to beginning her career in administration, Boge practiced as a full-time clinical dental hygienist in Manchester, Iowa. She is the owner of Think Big Dental, an academic writing and speaking firm, and is the current president of the Iowa Dental Hygienists’ Association.

As an active member of her professional associations ADHA and AADH, Boge has advocated for the dental hygiene profession on many levels. She was presented with the 2015 Master Clinician Award from ADHA and was Iowa's IDHA 2012 Hygienist of the Year.
