About Scaling Kit
This scaling kit gives a practice two curette families in one eleven-instrument order: seven Gracey curettes for area-specific periodontal instrumentation and four Lucas Regular surgical curettes. All eleven are reusable, autoclavable AISI 420 stainless steel, so you can stock periodontal and surgical curettes from a single set.
Gracey and Lucas: two families, two trays
Gracey curettes are area-specific periodontal instruments. Each figure is shaped to reach a particular group of tooth surfaces, which is why clinicians select Graceys by figure and usually work with them as an assortment rather than as a single universal instrument. The seven in this kit form the periodontal side of the set.
The four Lucas Regular instruments come from a different family. Lucas curettes are surgical curettes with a spoon-shaped working end, and they belong to oral surgery rather than periodontal scaling. Ordering them with the Graceys means a practice that runs both periodontal and surgical trays can order curettes for both trays together.
Specifying figures in your request
A Gracey and Lucas set is defined less by its count than by its figures. The areas the set reaches follow from which Gracey figures are supplied, so check the seven figures against the instruments your clinicians already use before you order. If your clinicians prefer particular Gracey figure pairs or a specific Lucas size, include these details when you enquire:
- Gracey figure numbers, since each figure pair reaches a different area
- Lucas figure or working-end size
- Handle style and diameter
- Set quantity, packing and any documentation your practice needs
Reprocess the instruments according to the validated instructions supplied with them. Send your set quantity and figure preferences through request a quote, or browse the wider periodontal instruments range.
