Mini Gracey 13/14 – Classic Handle

Where this fits in the sequence: The Mini Gracey 13/14 Curette is typically used during the precision subgingival scaling and root planing phase, when distal surfaces of posterior teeth present narrow pockets or restricted access requiring a reduced blade profile.

Why clinicians choose the Mini Gracey 13/14 (Classic Handle)

• Selected for distal posterior pockets and tight interproximal anatomy, where a mini blade improves access and control.
• Commonly chosen by clinicians who prefer a traditional, lightweight handle feel with familiar balance.
• Preferred when maximum tactile sensitivity supports delicate posterior instrumentation.

In-use behavior

In use, the Mini Gracey 13/14 delivers crisp tactile feedback, allowing clinicians to maintain blade adaptation while navigating distal root contours. The classic handle supports fine finger control and traditional scaling technique.

Clinical context

This instrument is often incorporated into periodontal maintenance and non-surgical therapy workflows where clinicians want a precision posterior distal curette paired with a handle style they know and trust.

Technical snapshot

• Mini Gracey 13/14 area-specific curette
