Hu-Friedy Perio kits

We purchased 4 sets of periodontal instrument kits for student use. These kits are the only packs accepted by the Sydney Dental Hospital Sterilization Department due to the laser identification method, and they are the same kit every student of ours needs to purchase.

The perio kits are on Reserve which means they can only be borrowed for two hours at a time and you can't take them home.

For descriptions of the instruments found in these kits please go to the Hu-Friedy website.
