Dental Periodontal Curette Gracey 11/12 Standard 3 Pack

Standard Gracey 11/12 Curette for Mesial Posterior Surfaces

The Standard Gracey 11/12 Curette is a dedicated periodontal instrument for clinicians who use area-specific Gracey patterns according to tooth location and surface. The 11/12 configuration is intended for mesial surfaces of posterior teeth, making it particularly relevant to instrumentation around premolars and molars.

Rather than using a universal working geometry, the 11/12 provides a specific Gracey configuration that is selected for the intended posterior surface. Proper positioning of the terminal shank and working end allows the instrument to be adapted to the mesial anatomy being treated during periodontal instrumentation.

This standard version retains the conventional working-end configuration of the Gracey 11/12 pattern. It therefore provides a straightforward option for routine posterior instrumentation where a standard-size working end is preferred instead of the reduced profile offered by Small or Mini versions.

The curette can be used as part of periodontal procedures involving subgingival scaling, calculus removal, periodontal maintenance, debridement, and root-surface instrumentation, according to the clinical requirements of the case.

The 11/12 is particularly useful when building a complete Gracey instrument selection in which different patterns are assigned to different tooth surfaces. It complements distal-posterior patterns such as the 13/14 while maintaining its own mesial-posterior application.

Each instrument is double-ended, providing two working ends in a single handle. The 3-piece set gives practices multiple instruments for clinical rotation and sterilization workflows.

Stainless steel construction provides a reusable instrument suitable for professional dental use and routine instrument reprocessing.

FAQs

What is a Gracey 11/12 curette used for?
The Gracey 11/12 is an area-specific periodontal curette designed primarily for mesial surfaces of posterior teeth, including appropriate premolar and molar surfaces.

What is the difference between Standard and Small Gracey 11/12?
Both use the 11/12 pattern and mesial posterior application. The Standard version has the conventional working-end configuration, while the Small version uses a reduced working profile.

Is the Gracey 11/12 a universal curette?
No. It is an area-specific Gracey curette designed for a defined posterior tooth-surface application.

What is the difference between Gracey 11/12 and 13/14?
The 11/12 is intended for mesial posterior surfaces, while the 13/14 is intended for distal posterior surfaces.
