It is most commonly used in periodontal care, including professional cleanings and treatment for gum disease. Unlike \u201cuniversal\u201d scalers, a Gracey curette is area-specific, meaning different versions are designed for different tooth surfaces. It is used by dentists and dental hygienists in both routine and more advanced debridement (cleaning) appointments."}
