Gracey 13/14 Curette Standard

Gracey 13/14 Curette Standard is an area-specific periodontal curette from NNA Medical Inc., forged from medical-grade stainless steel and finished with a knurled, hollow-handle grip. SKU P11171.

Product Overview

The Gracey 13/14 curette is a double-ended, site-specific instrument engineered for subgingival scaling and root planing. Its blade is offset at approximately 70° to the terminal shank, so only the lower cutting edge is used — this gives correct blade-to-root angulation with minimal soft-tissue trauma and superior tactile feedback compared with universal curettes.

Clinical Application

The Gracey 13/14 is indicated for posterior teeth — distal surfaces. The pronounced shank angulation is designed to reach distal surfaces of premolars and molars while maintaining correct blade-to-root adaptation.

Key Features

• Area-specific blade — pre-angled for posterior teeth — distal surfaces
• Single cutting edge — rounded toe and back for controlled, atraumatic subgingival access
• Medical-grade stainless steel — sharp, corrosion resistant and easy to re-sharpen
• Standard flexible shank — excellent tactile sensitivity for calculus detection
• Lightweight knurled handle — secure grip with wet gloves, reduces hand fatigue
• Double-ended and fully autoclavable — steam, dry heat and chemical sterilization

Clinical Benefits

Gracey curettes remain the gold standard for non-surgical periodontal therapy. The 13/14 pattern supports thorough, atraumatic root debridement in the posterior distal region, helping clinicians manage gingivitis and periodontitis predictably. Suitable for periodontal practices, dental hygiene clinics, dental laboratories and dental education programs across Canada.
