The Quinelato Gracey 15/16 Curette treats the mesial surfaces of the posterior teeth through a pronounced shank complex developed for increased molar access. It combines a mesially oriented blade with an angulation that remains workable when mouth opening or cheek tension limits the approach.
Key Features
Mesial Blade with Increased Molar Access — a pronounced shank complex presents the working end to posterior mesial roots from a stable, reproducible operating position
Limited-Opening Performance — the geometry stays effective in patients whose opening, cheek tension, or arch position restricts the approach angle
Offset Single Cutting Edge — one edge engages the root, defining the working angulation before the stroke begins
Rounded Toe and Rounded Back — the working end enters the sulcus closed and advances along the mesial concavity without soft tissue injury
Polished Textured Steel Body — a corrosion-resistant surface and a knurled grip carry the instrument through repeated reprocessing

Clinical Applications
Mesial instrumentation of second and third molars in the posterior sites where approach angle, not pocket depth, is the limiting factor.
Mesial root planing in patients with restricted opening where a pronounced shank preserves a usable working angulation.
Proximal debridement of posterior mesial concavities following the root contour instead of skipping across it.
Is limited access keeping you off the mesial of the molars?
This shank complex was developed for precisely those sites, making molar mesial surfaces workable again.
