A dental curette is a manual hand instrument with a curved, spoon-like tip used primarily for removing plaque, calculus, and soft deposits from teeth and gums. Clinically, it helps prevent periodontal disease by cleaning hard-to-reach areas during scaling and root planing procedures.
These devices are typically reusable and must meet strict hygiene and sterilization standards. They are classified under dental instruments and are supplied as part of professional dental toolkits, often requiring proper maintenance and sterilization protocols for safe use.
