Nordent Tip
Gracey curettes are also known as “Area Specific Curettes.” All Gracey’s have one cutting edge on the lower side of the blade and a rounded toe. When re-sharpening a Gracey blade, sharpen the lower edge and the toe only. Visit www.nordent.com/instrenew to see a video demonstration of a simple and effective way to sharpen any brand and any pattern of scalers and curettes. A complete set of Gracey curettes would include one for anteriors, one for the buccal and lingual surfaces of pre-molars and molars, one for the mesial surfaces of pre-molars and molars, and one for the distal surfaces of premolars and molars.
