Gracey Curette 11/12 – Posterior Mesial Periodontal Instrument

Area-specific periodontal curette designed for precise mesial scaling on posterior teeth.

The Gracey Curette 11/12 is a specialized periodontal instrument used for subgingival scaling and root planing on the mesial surfaces of posterior teeth, including premolars and molars. Its area-specific design ensures optimal adaptation to tooth anatomy, allowing efficient calculus removal in deeper periodontal pockets.

The instrument features an offset blade that allows only the lower cutting edge to engage the tooth surface, providing controlled and selective scaling. This design improves precision while minimizing trauma to surrounding periodontal tissues. The angulated working end enhances access to mesial surfaces that are otherwise difficult to reach with universal instruments.

The Gracey 11/12 is typically used in conjunction with the 13/14 curette, which handles distal surfaces, making them a paired system for full posterior coverage. This makes it a core instrument in periodontal therapy and hygiene maintenance.

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the instrument offers durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term sharpness retention. It is fully autoclavable and suitable for repeated clinical use.
