Universal and Gracey curettes solve different clinical problems. The blade angle, edge count and intended pocket depth tell you which to reach for at the chair.
Universal Curette · 90°

Gracey Curette · 70° offset
Single lower edge sharpened. Area-specific. For deep subgingival pockets and definitive root planing.
