Gracey 7/8 Curette is selected for subgingival calculus removal and root planing on the facial and lingual surfaces of posterior teeth, where a straight universal curette cannot adapt as closely to the tooth contour.
The defining feature is the single cutting edge offset at 70 degrees to the shank, shaped specifically for the facial and lingual anatomy of molars and premolars, with the passive opposite edge preventing tissue trauma during deep strokes.
Clinically, the 7/8 is used for deep pocket scaling and root planing on posterior teeth, typically paired with the 11/12 and 13/14 in a full Gracey set to cover mesial and distal surfaces as well. Double-ended, medical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable.
