11/12 Rigid Gracey Curette

The 11/12 Rigid Gracey Curette is designed for dentists, dental hygienists, and periodontal professionals performing periodontal scaling and debridement procedures. The 11/12 Gracey configuration is intended for appropriate posterior tooth surfaces, providing a specialized working end for controlled adaptation and deposit removal. Its rigid working end provides increased resistance and control when engaging firm or tenacious calculus. This makes the curette a practical choice for periodontal instrumentation where a rigid working end is preferred. The Gracey blade is designed to maintain appropriate adaptation to the tooth surface during scaling, supporting controlled subgingival calculus removal and root surface debridement. The instrument can be incorporated into periodontal maintenance, nonsurgical periodontal treatment, and professional dental hygiene setups. When supplied as a reusable stainless-steel instrument, the 11/12 Rigid Gracey Curette should be properly cleaned, sterilized, inspected, and maintained according to applicable manufacturer instructions and clinical protocols.
