==Scaling==

Scaling is the procedure whereby dental calculus is removed from the supra- and subgingival surfaces of the [[:Category:Teeth|teeth]]. Scaling may be performed using a combination of mechanical and hand instruments. Whilst hand scaling is sometimes more precise and allow better tactile feel, mechanical instruments require less time to remove the deposits and result in less operator fatigue.
