Cislak single-ended periotome #1.
The Periotome# 1, is 2mm wide, smaller (narrower) than the Periotome# 2 with the same long, thin blade and slightly rounded tip. Periotomes are thin, sharp instruments used for less traumatic dental extractions. Small and sharp, they slip in between the tooth and the surrounding tissue and bone, cutting the periodontal ligament and thus facilitating the removal of teeth with minimal damage to the surrounding alveolar bone. Used in a pushing and cutting motion, periotomes cut the periodontal ligament and break the epithelial attachment all the way down the tooth to make extractions easier. They help to lessen root fractures during extraction thus making for quicker and less problematic extractions. Cislak periotomes have a Titanium coating for longer instrument life and for a smoother instrument surface to ease insertion.

Cislak Manufacturing is the source for quality crafted dental hand instruments for the veterinarian. All Cislak instruments are made of the highest quality materials in the USA or Europe (the only exceptions are noted). Cislak’s instruments are all hand checked so they meet their exacting standards and have a life time warranty. Cislak has worked with a number of veterinary dental specialists to develop a line of instruments with specific veterinary needs in mind. Knowing the importance of being able to hold the instrument correctly, Cislak offers multiple handle choices to suit all customers.
Cislak instruments also come with the added benefit of the ability to be re-tipped because they are manufactured in such a way that the handle and shank can be separated. Customers can then save the handles of any damaged or worn instruments and send them to Serona for re-tipping, rather than replacing them with new instruments at a higher cost.
Cislak’s warranty covers all of their instruments for 100% of all material failure and workmanship defects. Material failure is defined as any defect, pitting or corroding or breakage due to a fault in the steel or handle of an instrument. Any instrument found to have these types of defects will be repaired or replaced.
Cislak’s warranty does not cover instruments that break due to over or improper use, improper cleaning or sterilization (sterilizing with bad water or the wrong temperature), dropped instruments, improper sharpening or normal wear and tear.
