- Primarily used for scaling and root planing, particularly on posterior teeth
Features:
- Versatile design:
- Has a paired mirror-image design with two cutting edges and a rounded toe, making it adaptable to all posterior tooth surfaces
- This versatile design allows it to be adapted to all tooth surfaces, including mesial, distal, buccal, and lingual aspects, particularly on posterior teeth
- Dual cutting edges:
- Unlike Gracey curettes, which have a single cutting edge, universal curettes have two cutting edges on each working tip
- This makes it efficient for removing calculus from a variety of tooth surfaces without needing to change instruments as frequently
- Ergonomic design:
- Has a large-diameter, ultra-lightweight, solid resin handle with extended knurling in "Nautical Blue"
- This design improves grip, enhances tactile sensitivity, and helps reduce hand fatigue and the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome
- Superior materials:
- Working ends are made from high-quality 440A stainless steel that is cryogenically treated
- Manufacturing:
- The instrument is handcrafted in the USA
