Edgemate Sharpening Stones
The EDGEMATE™, EDGEMATE™ II, and EDGEMATE™ III are synthetic sharpening stones designed by a periodontist especially for dental use, with the following advantages:
| • |
Non-loading - Metal particles do not become lodged on the surface. |
| • |
Synthetic - Provides a controlled and consistent grit. |
| • |
Autoclavable - Use chairside and then sterilize Edgemates along with your instruments. |
| • |
Time -saving Instruments can be sharpened quickly and efficiently. |
When sharpening instruments with conventional stones, metal fragments tend to lodge in the small voids on the stone's surface. In time, the stone's surface becomes glassy smooth and therefore ineffective. Before the EDGEMATE™, EDGEMATE™ II, and EDGEMATE™ III, oil had to be used to fill these voids.

| By always using sharp instruments, you will: |
| • |
Save time - Scaling procedures can be done more efficiently. |
| • |
Improve quality - Root surfaces are left cleaner and smoother. |
| • |
Decrease fatigue - Less force is required for scaling and root planing. |
| • |
Increase safety - With more controlled force you decrease the possibility of slipping. |
