GDC GRACEY CURETTES CC DISTAL SURFACES OF POSTERIOR TEETH # 7 (SGCC13/14)

The GDC Gracey Curettes CC Distal Surfaces of Posterior Teeth #7 (SGCC13/14) are specialized dental instruments designed for precise scaling and root planing of the distal surfaces of posterior teeth, including molars and premolars. These curettes are part of the renowned Gracey curette series, which is known for its ability to provide effective, comfortable, and efficient periodontal care. Specifically, the SGCC13/14 curette is expertly crafted to address the unique needs of distal surfaces, which are often more challenging to access and treat due to their location at the back of the mouth.

The GDC Gracey Curette CC #13/14 features a unique design that allows it to navigate the complex contours of posterior teeth with ease. The instrument has an angled blade that provides optimal access to the distal surfaces of the molars, which are typically difficult to reach with traditional curettes. The design of the curette’s blade is slightly curved, and it is set at a 70-degree angle to the shank, allowing it to fit precisely against the tooth surface while ensuring efficient plaque and calculus removal. This curvature, combined with the instrument’s specific angulation, ensures effective scaling while minimizing the risk of damaging surrounding soft tissues.

Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, the GDC Gracey Curettes CC #13/14 are durable, resistant to corrosion, and capable of withstanding the rigors of frequent use in a clinical setting. The fine, thin blade provides superior tactile sensitivity, enabling clinicians to feel the surface of the tooth as they work. This feature is especially important for effective root planing, as it helps the clinician identify and remove even the smallest deposits of plaque and calculus, which can contribute to periodontal disease. The ergonomic handle design of the SGCC13/14 ensures a comfortable and secure grip, reducing hand fatigue and allowing the clinician to maintain optimal control during extended procedures.

One of the key advantages of the GDC Gracey Curette CC #13/14 is its ability to reach the difficult-to-access areas of the posterior teeth, particularly around the distal surfaces and the furcation areas of molars. These regions often require specialized instruments due to their complex anatomy. The Gracey #13/14 curette is designed to clean these areas effectively, removing calculus and plaque without causing unnecessary trauma to the surrounding tissue. The small contra-angle and return angle provide excellent maneuverability, even in tight spaces, while maintaining a high level of precision and control.

The GDC Gracey Curettes are essential tools for any dental professional who regularly performs scaling, root planing, and periodontal therapy. Their unique design and durable construction make them invaluable for achieving optimal results in periodontal care, particularly for the treatment of the distal surfaces of posterior teeth. By providing precise, gentle care for these hard-to-reach areas, these curettes contribute to better patient outcomes, improved oral health, and long-term dental hygiene.
