DETAILS AND CARE
A Gracey 1/2 area-specific curette, used for subgingival scaling and root planing on the mesial and distal surfaces of anterior teeth. The offset blade angle follows the curvature of anterior root surfaces, giving efficient calculus removal with minimal soft-tissue trauma.
- Gracey 1/2 pattern for anterior tooth surfaces
- Offset blade angle designed for mesial and distal access
- Suitable for subgingival scaling and root planing
- AISI 304 and hardened J2 stainless steel, fully autoclavable
FAQs
What is a Gracey 1/2 curette used for?
It is used for scaling and root planing the mesial and distal surfaces of anterior teeth, both above and below the gumline.
Why are Gracey curettes numbered in pairs?
Each number pair (like 1/2) is designed for a specific tooth area and surface angle, unlike a universal curette which works generically across all areas.
What material is this instrument made from?
The handle is corrosion-resistant AISI 304 stainless steel and the working end is hardened Japanese-standard J2 stainless steel, each chosen for its job: rust-resistant handling and a hard, precise working end that keeps its shape through repeated autoclave cycles.
Part of a full Gracey set alongside 5/6, 7/8, 11/12, and 13/14 for complete arch coverage.
