HOES
- One straight cutting edge formed by the union of the instrument face and the beveled toe of the working end; sharp points at both ends of cutting edge
- Blade angled 99 – 100 degrees to the shank
- Cutting edge is beveled at 45 degree angle to the end of the blade
- Shanks (strong, rigid)
- straight – anterior regions
- Four working ends needed to scale all surfaces of teeth
Uses of Hoes
- Removal of supramarginal calculus, especially large, accessible, tenacious pieces
- Removal of submarginal calculus if tissue is distended enough to permit easy insertion
- Used primarily on facial and lingual surfaces
Disadvantages of Hoes
- Poor tactile sensitivity
- Sharp corners can gouge or scratch
- Does not adapt well to root surfaces or interproximals
