The new Queen of Hearts™, while similar to other instruments already on the market (the Loma Linda 10/11 or the ME1), was tweaked by Linda, with the help of Susan Wingrove, to make it better and more useful - it is a solution to a common problem of not being able to reach far back and down into the deep pockets. We opened up the angle for better reach over the teeth, made the blade longer (6mm), and balanced the blade so it won't spin in the hand. Its long, fine blade allows practitioners to reach into those deep pockets and furcations where perio disease lurks. This is a fine finishing blade to achieve a completely smooth surface in the final step of root planing, bringing the patient one step closer to better overall health.
