A periodontal curette is a precision dental instrument designed for scaling and root planing during periodontal therapy. Its sharp, hollow-ground blade removes hardened plaque (calculus) from tooth surfaces and smooths roots to promote gum healing and prevent infection.
These devices are typically reusable, metal-handled tools regulated under dental instrument classifications. They are supplied sterile or non-sterile depending on manufacturer specifications, with compliance varying by country-specific dental regulations.
