Suvan-O’Hehir Implant Curettes

Jean Suvan, RDH, MS requested a new design of the O’Hehir debridement curettes, specifically for use on implants. She suggested the blade be coated with titanium, to prevent scratching of the implant surface. The small disc blades of these curettes can be used with either a push or pull motion, with no damage to implant surfaces. The photographs taken with the aid of magnification show the shape of the blade, the surface damage that occurs with a stainless-steel curette and despite all her force, Jean was unable to damage the implant surface with the new titanium-coated, Suvan-O’Hehir Implant curette from G. Hartzell & Son.
