Scalers vs Curettes: What's the Difference?
Scalers have pointed tips and sharp edges, and they remove calculus above the gumline. Curettes have a rounded toe and a spoon-shaped working end. This lets them work below the gumline or inside an extraction socket without gouging the surrounding tissue. The patterns below are curettes for that deeper work.
Molt Curettes for Socket Curettage
The Molt Curette for 3mm and 4mm Periodontal Debridement and Socket Curettage is the entry-level pick at $5.45. You can also choose the Dental Molt Curette Instruments for 3mm and 4mm Socket Curettage or the standard Molt Curette Instruments. For angled access into alveolar sockets, the Molt Bone Curette with 2.9mm Angled Spoon Tip is made for the job.
Lucas, Pritchard and Hemingway Patterns
Lucas bone curettes are among the most requested patterns in dental surgery. Compare the Lucas Surgical Bone Curette with the Serrated Lucas Surgical Bone Curette and the Serrated Lucas For Bone Curette, then choose the working end that suits your technique. The Pritchard Bone Curette and Hemingway Bone Curette add further options. For a larger working end, see the Double-Ended Orthopedic Bone Curette and our orthopedic bone curettes and scoops.
Build a Complete Extraction and Periodontal Set
Curettage usually follows extraction, so pair these curettes with dental extraction instruments, luxation elevators and elevator sets. For examination, add mirrors and handles, diagnostic probes and dental explorers. Ready-made periodontal surgery kits and dental extraction kits save time when you equip a new operatory. Store everything in sterilization cassettes and trays.
Veterinary and ENT Curettes
Animal dentistry uses similar patterns. See our veterinary dental curettes and veterinary dental scalers. For ear and nasal work, browse ENT curettes.
