Columbia 13/14 Curette Periodontal Dental Set 3 Pack
Columbia 13/14 Curette Periodontal Dental Set 3 Pack
Columbia 13/14 Universal Curette for Periodontal Instrumentation
The Columbia 13/14 Universal Curette 3-Piece Set is a versatile periodontal instrument designed for routine scaling, calculus removal, and periodontal maintenance. Its 13/14 Columbia pattern provides a universal working configuration that can be adapted to suitable tooth surfaces during professional dental hygiene procedures.
The curette's working end is designed to maintain controlled contact with appropriate tooth surfaces during instrumentation. Its universal configuration makes it useful when clinicians require a versatile periodontal curette rather than a pattern dedicated to only one specific tooth region.
The Columbia 13/14 curette can be incorporated into periodontal maintenance and professional scaling workflows involving suitable supragingival and subgingival deposits. Instrument selection should always take into account tooth anatomy, deposit location, periodontal condition, access, and the clinician's preferred technique.
Its handle provides a secure grip and tactile feedback during scaling and debridement. This allows controlled positioning of the working end while adapting to different accessible tooth surfaces.
The product is supplied as a 3-piece set, giving dental professionals multiple instruments for clinical use and rotation during sterilization cycles.
Constructed from stainless steel, the curettes are designed for repeated professional use and corrosion resistance. Their reusable design supports standard dental instrument sterilization and autoclave workflows.
