Serrated Curette – Precision Periodontal Instrument for Dental Scaling

The Serrated Curette is a specialised periodontal instrument designed for the effective removal of tough, tenacious calculus deposits from tooth surfaces — particularly below the gumline. Its serrated working edge provides superior grip on hard deposits compared to standard smooth curettes, making it the instrument of choice for challenging scaling and root planing cases.

Key Features

• Serrated (toothed) working edge – grips and breaks stubborn supragingival and subgingival calculus
• Curved blade design – adapts closely to root surface anatomy for thorough debridement
• Sharp cutting edges – more aggressive and efficient than standard curettes
• Double-ended instrument – two working ends for access to different areas and tooth surfaces
• Stainless steel construction – durable and autoclavable

Clinical Applications

• Removal of heavy supragingival and subgingival calculus
• Scaling in deep periodontal pockets
• Scaling and root planing (SRP) procedures
• Periodontal maintenance in difficult-to-access areas

Advantages Over Standard Curettes

• Better grip on hard, tenacious deposits – reduces instrument slippage
• Improved efficiency in challenging periodontal cases
• Reduces operator fatigue during heavy calculus removal
