The Quinelato Gracey 1/2 Curette is an area-specific periodontal instrument assigned to the anterior segment, reaching every surface of the incisors and canines through a contra-angled shank. Only the lower edge of the offset blade engages the root, while the rounded toe and rounded back keep the working end atraumatic below the gingival margin.
Key Features
Anterior Segment Geometry — the contra-angled shank seats the working end squarely against incisor and canine roots on facial, lingual, and proximal surfaces
Single Cutting Edge — the blade is offset from the terminal shank so that one edge does the cutting, giving the operator a predictable working angle
Rounded Toe and Back — a curved toe and a rounded dorsal surface allow closed subgingival insertion with minimal soft tissue trauma
Ergonomic Textured Handle — the knurled gripping surface sustains tactile feedback through long periodontal appointments
Polished Corrosion-Resistant Surface — the smooth finish limits deposit adherence and withstands repeated reprocessing cycles

Clinical Applications
Subgingival calculus removal on incisors and canines where the anterior shank angulation permits controlled insertion to the base of the sulcus.
Root planing of anterior facial and lingual surfaces during initial periodontal therapy and re-evaluation appointments.
Periodontal maintenance of the anterior sextants on recall patients presenting light residual deposits along the cementoenamel junction.
