Gracey Curette 9-10 Double Ended Dual End Hollow Handle

Gracey Curette 9-10 – Double-Ended Hollow-Handle Periodontal Curette

Description
The Gracey Curette 9/10 is an area-specific periodontal instrument designed for scaling and root planing, tailored specifically for the buccal and lingual surfaces of posterior teeth (molars and premolars). With its long-contra angle blade geometry, double-ended configuration, and hollow handle, this curette offers enhanced access to difficult-to-reach root surfaces, improved tactile sensitivity, and ergonomic comfort for clinicians.

Key Features

• Posterior-Specific Blade (9/10) — The 9/10 blade is engineered for cleaning the buccal and lingual surfaces of molars and premolars, including hard-to-access areas around root bifurcations and furcations.

• Long Contra-Angle & Short Shank Design — The blade’s contra-angle and shorter working shank facilitate insertion and adaptation to posterior root surfaces, improving access and control even in restricted areas.

• Offset Blade with Single Lower Cutting Edge — As with all area-specific curettes, only the lower cutting edge is functional. The offset design enhances adaptation to root contours while minimizing soft-tissue trauma.

• Double-Ended Construction — Two working ends (9 and 10) allow clinicians to efficiently alternate sides without switching instruments, improving procedural flow.

• Hollow Stainless Steel Handle — The hollow-core handle reduces overall instrument weight and enhances tactile sensitivity, giving better feel of root surfaces and calculus while reducing operator fatigue.

• Durable & Sterilizable — Made of high-quality stainless steel, it is corrosion-resistant and suitable for repeated sterilization and long-term clinical use.

Applications

• Sub-gingival and supra-gingival scaling and root planing on posterior teeth (molars and premolars). 

• Removal of calculus, plaque, and biofilm from buccal and lingual root surfaces — including difficult areas near furcations or root concavities.

• Periodontal debridement and maintenance therapy, especially where access is limited and controlled instrumentation is required.

Ideal For

• Dental hygienists, periodontists, and general dentists performing posterior-tooth scaling and root planing.

• Clinics and practices that need a reliable instrument for subgingival debridement on molars and premolars.

• Situations requiring ergonomic, lightweight instruments — helpful during long procedures or for clinicians prone to hand fatigue.

• Educational settings teaching posterior periodontal instrumentation and area-specific scaling techniques.
