Description
The 6 Pcs equine periodontal instrument kit is a comprehensive diagnostic set designed for thorough equine dental examinations and the detection of periodontal disease. The SAG Surgical horse periodontal kit includes six specialized stainless steel instruments, essential for dental charting, measuring pocket depths, and diagnosing periodontal pathologies in horses .
This equine dental diagnostic set is uniquely crafted from premium German stainless steel with extended handles (approximately 17-18 inches) specifically designed for the equine oral cavity . The 6-piece composition of this veterinary dental kit provides the core instruments needed for a complete periodontal examination and dental charting, making it an essential addition to any equine practice. All instruments are housed in a sturdy carrying case for organized storage and protection .
A periodontal probe is included in this horse dental kit, designed with a blunt, rounded end to be inserted into the gingival sulcus without causing trauma . The probe’s markings (banded or notched) allow for accurate measurement of periodontal pocket depth around each tooth . The dental explorer in this equine periodontal set features a sharp, delicate tip (often shaped like a shepherd’s hook) used to detect irregularities such as calculus deposits, enamel defects, resorptive lesions, and fractured teeth . The sickle scaler, with its sharp tip and triangular cross-section, is used for removing gross calculus from crown surfaces . The equine needle pick is versatile, designed for probing diastemata (spaces between teeth), clearing debris, and extracting small tooth fragments .
Equine periodontal disease is a common, painful condition, affecting approximately 60% of horses over 15 years of age . Diagnosis often involves identifying deep periodontal pockets that trap feed material, leading to infection . This veterinary dental instrument set provides the essential tools for early detection, enabling treatment before conditions become severe .
Veterinary dental instruments are manufactured to the highest standards using quality materials. This ensures that every equine periodontal instrument maintains its precision for years of reliable use. This horse dental probe set is designed for easy cleaning and sterilization .
SAG Surgical takes pride in offering premium equine periodontal instrument kits that meet the demanding requirements of modern equine dental care. Every veterinary dental set undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistent performance and safety.
