Gracey 13/14 Curette, Posterior Distal

Gracey 13/14 Curette is selected for the distal surfaces of posterior teeth, an area where a straight or universal curette typically cannot maintain the correct blade-to-root angle without the handle striking adjacent structures.

The defining feature is a multi-angled shank paired with a single 70-degree offset cutting edge, shaped specifically to slide past the distal contact and adapt to the root curvature of a molar or premolar without losing the correct working angle.

Clinically, the 13/14 is used for scaling and root planing the distal surfaces of premolars and molars, and is almost always stocked alongside the 11/12 so both mesial and distal surfaces of the same tooth can be completed in one appointment. Double-ended, medical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable.
