7/8 Rigid Gracey Curette instrument

The 7/8 Rigid Gracey Curette Instrument is designed for dentists, dental hygienists, and periodontal professionals performing professional periodontal scaling and debridement. The 7/8 Gracey configuration is intended for appropriate posterior tooth surfaces, providing a specialized working end for controlled adaptation to tooth anatomy. Its rigid working end offers increased resistance and control when engaging firm or tenacious calculus. This makes the instrument a practical choice for periodontal procedures where a stronger working end is preferred. The Gracey blade is designed to maintain appropriate adaptation to the tooth surface during instrumentation, supporting subgingival calculus removal and root surface debridement. The instrument can be incorporated into periodontal maintenance, nonsurgical periodontal treatment, and dental hygiene instrument sets. An ergonomic handle supports secure finger positioning and controlled manipulation during clinical use. When supplied as a reusable stainless-steel instrument, it should be cleaned, sterilized, inspected, and maintained according to applicable manufacturer instructions and clinical protocols.
