Gracey curettes are the backbone of every perio tray — site-specific instruments shaped to match the anatomy of each tooth surface. Our Gracey range covers the full spectrum: Standard Gracey for routine scaling and root planing, Rigid Gracey for heavier calculus, Mini Gracey (shorter blade, longer shank) for deep narrow pockets and line angles, and Titanium Gracey for safe instrumentation of implant surfaces.

Working ends are precision-cast and hand-sharpened so the cutting edge stays true through many autoclave cycles. Handles come in ErgoRazor, ErgoLite and ErgoTip lines — the grip, weight and balance combination that keeps the hygienist column flowing without hand fatigue.

Frequently asked about Periodontics

Which Gracey curette goes in which sextant?

1-2 anterior, 3-4 anterior, 5-6 anterior/premolar, 7-8 posterior buccal/lingual, 9-10 posterior buccal/lingual, 11-12 posterior mesial, 13-14 posterior distal, 15-16 posterior modified mesial, 17-18 posterior modified distal.

Standard, Rigid, Mini or Titanium — what is the difference?

Standard for routine scaling, Rigid for heavier calculus removal, Mini for tight pockets and furcations, Titanium specifically for implant maintenance (will not scratch the implant surface).

How often should curettes be sharpened or replaced?

Sharpen after every 10-15 patients with a fine ceramic stone. Replace once the working edge falls below 50% of original — usually 12-18 months in steady use. Our ErgoRazor® line holds an edge longer.

Are universal curettes a substitute for Graceys?

No — universal curettes (Columbia 13/14, Younger-Good 7/8) work in all sextants but at the cost of site-specific blade angulation. Graceys give better access at the expense of needing more pieces in the cassette.
