Gracey Curette 15/16 – Precision Periodontal Instrument for Subgingival Scaling

Gracey Curette 15/16 – Precision Periodontal Instrument for Subgingival Scaling Gracey Curette 15/16 – Precision Periodontal Instrument for Subgingival Scaling The Gracey Curette 15/16 is a specialized periodontal instrument designed for deep scaling, root planing, and removal of subgingival calculus with maximum precision and minimal trauma to surrounding tissues. Part of the standard Gracey curette series, the 15/16 model features a unique blade angulation that allows clinicians to efficiently access mesial surfaces of posterior teeth while maintaining optimal adaptation and control.

Crafted from high-quality German stainless steel or lightweight titanium, this curette provides long-lasting durability, corrosion resistance, and sharp cutting edges for effective scaling. The offset blade design (with the blade face offset at 70° to the shank) ensures that only the lower cutting edge is used, giving clinicians selective and precise scaling capability.

The 15/16 Gracey Curette is ergonomically balanced with a lightweight, textured handle that enhances grip, reduces hand fatigue, and improves tactile sensitivity—making it especially valuable in long periodontal sessions. It is commonly used in both general dentistry and periodontal specialty practices, particularly for procedures requiring meticulous removal of deposits in deep periodontal pockets.

This curette is also fully autoclavable, ensuring proper sterilization for safe, repeated use in clinical practice. Many advanced versions come with color-coded, resin or silicone handles for easy identification and enhanced comfort.
