Curettes / Gracey curettes

Fine, but also extremely rigid and resistant – scalers and curettes are an indispensable part of today’s tooth cleaning, prophylaxis and periodontology. Whereby scalers and curettes should not be confused: whereas curettes are used for the subgingival removal of concrements, for the treatment of root surfaces and tooth necks, the scalers are used on the surface areas. They are used supragingivally. Whereas scalers for anterior teeth are generally hook-shaped, the scalers for the posterior or molar regions are largely sickle-shaped. Nonetheless, the surfaces of both instrument types should always be sharp.
KLS Martin offers the entire range of scalers and curettes. They are color-coded according to indication and ensure safe working without mix-ups.
