Mastering Periodontal Care: The Essential Guide to Gracey Curettes
At Lenox Instruments, we understand the critical role that precision tools play in delivering exceptional dental care. Among these, Gracey Curettes stand out as indispensable instruments for effective periodontal treatment. Let’s explore why these specialized curettes are a must-have in every dental professional’s toolkit.
What Are Gracey Curettes?
Gracey Curettes are area-specific instruments designed for subgingival scaling and root planing. Developed by Dr. Clayton Gracey in the 1930s, these curettes have revolutionized periodontal care with their unique design and functionality.
Key Features of Lenox Instruments Gracey Curettes
- Area-Specific Design: Each Gracey Curette is tailored for use on specific tooth surfaces, ensuring optimal adaptation and effectiveness.
- Single Cutting Edge: Unlike universal curettes, Gracey Curettes feature a single cutting edge, allowing for more precise removal of calculus and diseased cementum.
- Offset Blade: The working end is offset by about 70 degrees, facilitating better access to subgingival areas.
- Premium Materials: Crafted from high-grade stainless steel for durability and maintaining a sharp edge.
- Ergonomic Handles: Designed for comfort and control during extended procedures.
