Universal curettes are versatile periodontal hand instruments used for both supra- and subgingival debridement, as well as the removal of tartar, plaque, and bacterial biofilm. Unlike Gracey curettes, universal curettes are designed to be used on all tooth surfaces and in all dental quadrants, making them a flexible and highly valued instrument in both general dentistry and dental hygiene.
Universal curettes have two cutting edges and a working end that make it possible to treat both anterior and posterior teeth without switching instruments between different tooth surfaces. The product line includes several well-known models, such as Barnhart and Columbia curettes, which provide excellent access and high precision for both routine scaling and periodontal maintenance.
At Humanus Dental, you’ll find universal curettes from ErgoDenta, a Danish manufacturer specializing in ergonomic dental hand instruments of the highest quality. The instruments are designed with optimal balance, secure grips, and carefully crafted working ends that provide high precision and excellent tactile feedback.
