A Gracey 17/18 area-specific curette designed for controlled subgingival instrumentation on distal surfaces of posterior teeth, supporting precise adaptation and reach along distal root anatomies during periodontal maintenance care. ⭐ Classic Stainless-Steel Handle Traditional stainless-steel handle provides a familiar, balanced feel for controlled distal posterior instrumentation. ⭐ Area-Specific Gracey Angulation Gracey blade design supports smooth adaptation along distal root surfaces of premolars and molars for controlled subgingival scaling. ⭐ Sharp, Durable Working End Single cutting edge supports effective scaling and root surface finishing with consistent clinical performance. ⭐ Secure, Textured Grip Textured handle pattern supports stable tactile control, including in moist clinical environments. The Gracey 17/18 is designed for subgingival instrumentation on distal surfaces of posterior teeth, combining extended shank access with area-specific blade angulation for controlled adaptation in limited-access posterior regions. Distal posterior instrumentation often requires stable angulation and precise blade control—especially around molars where access can be more challenging. The Gracey 17/18 supports detailed scaling and root surface finishing where reach and tactile feedback are important. A practical choice for clinicians who prefer a traditional stainless-steel feel with additional shank length, the Gracey 17/18 supports stable handling and consistent technique execution during routine periodontal maintenance workflows.
