A Periodontal Curette is a specialized dental hand instrument designed for scaling and root planing during periodontal therapy. Unlike scalers, curettes have a rounded tip (toe) that allows safe access below the gum line without damaging soft tissues.

Main Features

High-quality stainless steel for durability.

Double-ended with ergonomic handle for comfort.

Sharp cutting edges for effective calculus removal.

Rounded design to prevent trauma to gingiva.

Uses

Removal of subgingival calculus (below gum line).

Root planing – smoothing root surfaces.

Scaling in deep periodontal pockets.

Gracey 2R/2L (Left & Right Anterior Scalers)

Designed for anterior teeth (front teeth).

2L (Left): for use on the left side anterior surfaces.

2R (Right): for use on the right side anterior surfaces.

Great for removing calculus from narrow anterior spaces.

Gracey 4R/4L (Left & Right Posterior Scalers)

Designed for posterior teeth (molars and premolars).

4L (Left): angled shank for posterior left surfaces.

4R (Right): angled shank for posterior right surfaces.

Provides better access to deep periodontal pockets in the back teeth.
