The Slade Blade™ Surgical Curette

Scott Froum, DDS

“I created these instruments based on the need I observed from my own clinical experiences, as well as discussions with other dentists. Basic sentiment was that there was a lack of instruments that efficiently removed granulation tissue post extraction from extraction sockets.”


Designed with Scott Froum, DDS, the PDT Slade Blade is made for the efficient removal of granulation tissue post extraction. Thorough removal of cystic infected tissue to leave a clean socket is crucial in preparation for an implant placement. The Slade Blade offers a more precise blade for the job.

Created by a periodontist for periodontists, the Slade Blades’ narrow cutting head gives you better access and a more exact instrument that allows you to more atraumatically reach deeper granulation tissue. The Slade Blade allows for cleaner extractions, and more effective implant placements.
