Here's my favorite blade, the 12b, on top, and the 15c, on the bottom. I recommend the 15c over a 15, the latter of which is great when you're cutting into the abdomen, but the 15c (c for cute) is a much better fit in the mouth.

As for the 12b, it's labeled "b" for "both" -- it has a cutting edge on both the concavity and the convexity of the sickle, whereas a standard 12 blade only cuts with the concavity. With the 12b, you can cut the tissue both when you pull and push in the sulcus, making it quite an agile tool in tight and hard to reach spaces.

Here's my guide pin to depth.

I liked the coronal angulation but decided to move it a bit M at the apex to grab more subantral bone.
