The Quinelato Gracey 1/2 Curette Mini is a mini-bladed area-specific instrument for the anterior teeth, pairing a short mini blade with an extended terminal shank. That combination carries a single cutting edge into deep, narrow pockets and tight embrasures around incisors and canines while the rounded toe and back keep insertion closed.
Key Features
Mini Blade — a short working blade adapts within narrow anterior pockets and crowded embrasures, lying flat against the root through the whole stroke
Extended Terminal Shank — the lengthened terminal shank carries the blade to the base of deep anterior pockets while the finger rest stays outside the field
Anterior Area-Specific Angulation — the contra-angled complex presents the mini blade to incisor and canine roots on facial, lingual, and proximal surfaces
Single Cutting Edge with Rounded Toe — the offset blade cuts on one edge and enters the sulcus closed, protecting the epithelial attachment
Textured Autoclavable Handle — a knurled surgical steel grip preserves tactile feedback and tolerates repeated sterilization

Clinical Applications
Deep narrow pockets on incisors and canines where the pocket is deeper than it is wide and blade length governs adaptation.
Crowded anterior embrasures on rotated or overlapped teeth whose proximal spaces are tightly constricted.
Anterior root grooves and developmental depressions following the concavity instead of riding over its margins.
Is the pocket deeper than it is wide?
A mini blade on an extended shank is the working end that fits that anatomy.
