Description
This page features two trusted types of periodontal curettes: Columbia Curettes and McCalls Curettes, each meticulously engineered for effective subgingival and supragingival calculus removal and root surface debridement.
-
Columbia Curettes are double-ended instruments ideal for universal use throughout the mouth. Their rounded tips and blade angulation provide access to a wide range of surfaces with ease and safety, particularly beneficial in tight interproximal areas.
-
McCalls Curettes are designed with wider, stronger shanks and robust blades that provide excellent adaptability to molar and premolar surfaces. Known for their cutting edge and strength, McCalls are highly effective for heavier deposits and posterior instrumentation.
