Columbia Curette

Description
The Columbia Curette, is a universal periodontal curette with two cutting edges, usable at any site in the mouth for subgingival debridement.
01Product Overview
The Columbia Curette, is a universal periodontal curette, and the term universal has a specific meaning. The blade is set at ninety degrees to the shank and is sharpened along both edges, which means either edge may be applied and the instrument works at any site in the mouth. A Gracey curette, by contrast, is offset and sharpened along one edge only, so it is site specific and a full set is required to cover the arcade.
The universal design makes the Columbia the practical starting instrument for a practice, since one curette covers the whole mouth. The rounded toe and back allow it to be worked subgingivally without lacerating the pocket lining.
