Overview of the A. Titan Gracey Curette Line

A. Titan specializes in the Gracey Curette design, a periodontal instrument specifically engineered for subgingival scaling and root planing. Gracey curettes are area-specific instruments, designed to remove calculus and smooth root surfaces on designated tooth surfaces, ensuring precise adaptation and effective periodontal therapy.

Manufacturing and Material Excellence

A. Titan Gracey curettes are manufactured in the USA using 100% high-grade stainless steel, ensuring superior durability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with repeated sterilization.

Through computerized hydraulic forming, A. Titan achieves 100% tip-angle accuracy, which is essential for the correct function of the area-specific Gracey blade design. This precision allows for optimal blade-to-tooth adaptation and more efficient calculus removal.

To further enhance performance, the cutting edges are treated with ion-charged edge-retention technology, significantly increasing blade sharpness longevity. This reduces the need for frequent sharpening while maintaining consistent clinical effectiveness.

Ergonomic Handle Options

To support clinician comfort and reduce hand fatigue, A. Titan offers multiple handle designs:

Life Steel Handle
This is a standard stainless steel handle (commonly size #6) featuring a diamond-knurled grip for excellent control and tactile feedback. The Life Steel handle is typically re-tippable, extending the instrument’s service life.

D-Lite Handle
The D-Lite handle is a lightweight stainless steel option, also usually size #6, designed to minimize hand and wrist strain during extended procedures. It often includes colored end caps for easy identification and features a diamond-knurled grip. This handle type is generally non-re-tippable.

Range of Gracey Curettes

A. Titan manufactures all commonly used Gracey numbers, including 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12, 13/14, and 15/16, covering anterior, posterior, mesial, and distal tooth surfaces.

Specialty Implant Curettes – Athena Line

In addition to stainless steel Gracey curettes, A. Titan offers Titanium Implant Curettes under the Athena line. These instruments feature titanium tips specifically designed for safe debridement around titanium dental implants and abutments. Using titanium-on-titanium contact prevents surface scratching, which is critical for maintaining implant integrity and long-term peri-implant health.
