Gracey Curettes 17/18

Product Overview

The Gracey 17/18 Curette is a site-specific periodontal instrument engineered for precise subgingival scaling and root planing. Its pre-angled blade is designed for specific tooth surfaces, allowing optimal blade-to-root angulation with minimal tissue trauma and maximum clinical efficiency.

Clinical Application

The Gracey 17/18 features an extended shank for accessing deep distal pockets on posterior teeth. Ideal for advanced periodontal cases with deep subgingival deposits.

Key Features

• Area-specific blade design — Pre-angled for optimal access to posterior teeth — deep distal pockets
• Single cutting edge — Controlled root planing strokes with minimal tissue disruption
• Medical-grade stainless steel — Sharp, corrosion-resistant, long-lasting blade
• Ergonomic knurled handle — Reduces hand fatigue during extended periodontal sessions
• Fully autoclavable — Compatible with steam, dry heat, and chemical sterilization
• Balanced weight distribution — Consistent instrument control during scaling strokes

Clinical Benefits

Gracey curettes are the gold standard for non-surgical periodontal therapy. The Gracey 17/18 supports thorough, atraumatic root debridement in the posterior teeth — deep distal pockets region, helping clinicians manage gingivitis and periodontitis effectively. Suitable for periodontal practice, dental hygiene clinics, and dental education settings across Canada.
