Gracey Curette 13/14 – Posterior Distal Periodontal Instrument

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

The Gracey Curette 13/14 is a specialized instrument used for subgingival scaling and root planing of the distal surfaces of premolars and molars. Its area-specific design allows for optimal adaptation to posterior anatomy, making it one of the most important instruments in periodontal therapy.

The offset blade design ensures that only the lower cutting edge is used, allowing for controlled and efficient removal of calculus while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues. The longer shank and angulated tip improve access to deep periodontal pockets, especially in posterior regions where visibility and access are limited.

This instrument is widely used in periodontal maintenance, scaling and root planing (SRP), and deep cleaning procedures performed by dental hygienists and periodontists.

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the Gracey 13/14 offers durability, sharpness retention, and resistance to corrosion. It is fully autoclavable and designed for repeated clinical use.
