Bone Curettes

Type of hand-activated instrument used in dentistry and dental hygiene for the purpose of scaling and root planing. The periodontal curette is considered a treatment instrument and is classified into two main categories: universal curettes and Gracey curettes. Periodontal curettes have one face, one or two cutting edges, and a rounded back and rounded toe. They are typically the instrument of choice for subgingival calculus removal.
