- Double-ended universal curette used by dental professionals for periodontal scaling and root planing
- It is designed with ergonomics and efficiency in mind to help reduce hand and wrist fatigue
Applications
- Periodontal scaling:
- The curette is used to effectively remove calculus (hardened plaque) deposits from all tooth surfaces, both above and below the gumline
- Subgingival debridement:
- The precisely angled, double-ended tip allows for easy access and effective removal of deposits from the root surfaces below the gumline
- Root planing:
- In addition to removing deposits, the sharp edges of the curette are used to smooth the tooth root surface, a process that helps to prevent the reattachment of calculus
- Posterior use:
- The #13/#14 Columbia design is particularly well-suited for accessing the posterior teeth
Features
- Ergonomic handle:
- The instrument features a lightweight (15g), tactical resin handle with a non-slip grip
- This design minimizes hand and wrist fatigue, even during long procedures, and helps the practitioner maintain control with less pressure
- SmartSharp technology:
- The tips are made from proprietary heat-treated, cryo-hardened 440A stainless steel
- This technology ensures that the edges stay sharp longer and are engineered with precise angles for optimal efficiency
- Double-ended design:
- The instrument has both a 13 and 14 working end, providing versatility for accessing different tooth surfaces without needing to switch instruments
- Autoclavable:
- The durable polymer handles are designed to withstand extensive autoclaving, which ensures a long working life and supports proper infection control standards
