Periodontal Curette Gracey Small 13/14 3 Pack

Gracey Small 13/14 Curette for Distal Posterior Scaling

The Gracey Small 13/14 Curette is designed for clinicians who require an area-specific instrument for the distal surfaces of posterior teeth. The 13/14 pattern is part of the Gracey family of site-specific curettes, with its working configuration intended for posterior instrumentation rather than general full-mouth use.

The Small format gives this curette a more compact working profile than a conventional Gracey 13/14. This reduced working end can be particularly useful when instrumentation requires access around confined posterior anatomy, narrow periodontal areas, or difficult-to-reach root surfaces.

Its terminal shank and working-end geometry are designed to establish the appropriate relationship between the instrument and the distal posterior tooth surface. This makes the curette suitable for controlled periodontal instrumentation where a dedicated 13/14 pattern is preferred.

The instrument can be incorporated into procedures involving subgingival calculus removal, periodontal debridement, periodontal maintenance, and root-surface instrumentation where clinically appropriate. Its area-specific configuration allows it to complement other Gracey patterns within a complete periodontal instrument setup.

Supplied as a 3-piece set, the instruments can be incorporated into routine clinical rotation and sterilization workflows. Stainless steel construction provides a reusable instrument platform suitable for professional dental practice and standard instrument reprocessing.

FAQs

What is a Gracey Small 13/14 curette used for?
The Gracey Small 13/14 is an area-specific periodontal curette designed primarily for instrumentation of distal posterior tooth surfaces, including suitable molar surfaces.

What is the difference between Gracey 13/14 and 15/16?
The Gracey 13/14 is intended for distal posterior surfaces, while the 15/16 is designed for mesial posterior surfaces.

Why choose a Small Gracey 13/14 curette?
The Small configuration provides a more compact working end while retaining the 13/14 pattern, making it useful where access to posterior periodontal areas is restricted.

Is the Gracey Small 13/14 a universal curette?
No. It is an area-specific Gracey curette designed for a defined posterior tooth-surface application rather than general full-mouth instrumentation.
