Scissors designed to cut and/or trim the gums and/or other soft tissue in the oral cavity during dental and/or oral surgery. These scissors are typically handheld, manual instruments with two metallic (e.g., stainless steel) blades, including one short and one or both serrated to eliminate slippage. The blades are attached to long, curved handles with the proximal end conformed as a ring to facilitate holding and operating with the fingers; both parts are joined by a swivel pin in the center.
