McCall 17/18 Curette Dental Set 3 Pack

McCall 17/18 Curette for Posterior Periodontal Instrumentation

The McCall 17/18 Periodontal Curette 3-Piece Set is a specialized periodontal instrument designed for controlled instrumentation of suitable posterior tooth and root surfaces. Its 17/18 McCall pattern provides a dedicated working configuration for periodontal procedures where access and adaptation to posterior surfaces are important.

The working end is designed to adapt to suitable tooth and root surfaces during periodontal instrumentation. This allows the clinician to perform controlled scaling and debridement according to the tooth anatomy, deposit location, periodontal condition, and selected clinical technique.

Unlike pointed sickle scalers intended primarily for supragingival instrumentation, the McCall 17/18 curette belongs to the periodontal curette category and is positioned for procedures involving appropriate subgingival areas and root surfaces.

The handle provides a secure grip and tactile feedback during instrumentation, supporting controlled manipulation of the working end. This is particularly important when adapting the curette to curved posterior tooth surfaces.

The product is supplied as a 3-piece McCall 17/18 curette set, allowing instruments to be rotated through professional treatment and sterilization workflows.

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the curettes are designed for durability, corrosion resistance, and repeated professional use. They are reusable and fully autoclavable, making them suitable for standard dental instrument sterilization procedures.
