Younger-Good Curette, 7/8

Description

Younger-Good Curette, 7/8

The 7/8 Younger-Good curette is a long-established periodontal instrument for removing calculus and smoothing root surfaces. Hygienists and periodontists use it during scaling and root planing, working subgingivally around the teeth. This page offers the 7/8 figure in two catalogue styles.

What the 7/8 Pairing Means

Paired numbers like 7/8 mark a double-ended instrument with two matched working ends. So the clinician flips the handle to reach the opposite surfaces rather than picking up a new instrument. That pairing is why a single 7/8 can cover a wide range of sites in one appointment.

Fig. 7/8 or Fig. 7/8, Style 2

Our plain 7/8 option comes from the supplier’s periodontal instruments page. Style 2 shows that very figure one page later, mounted on another handle pattern. Since no name or measurement accompanies that second handle, we will not describe it further. Instead, please compare both photos and choose by grip and handle feel.

Keeping Younger-Good Edges Working

A curette only removes deposits cleanly while its edges stay sharp. Therefore, many hygienists sharpen during or after each session, following the original blade contour. In addition, storing curettes in a cassette protects the edges from contact with other instruments. A dull edge tends to burnish calculus rather than remove it, so regular sharpening pays off.

Younger-Good Steel and Coverage

Both Younger-Good styles are stainless steel, and every 7/8 is examined by hand in the United States ahead of packing. Curettes in this listing come unsterilized; clean and autoclave yours before periodontal treatment. We cover each Younger-Good 7/8 with three years against manufacturing defects, Style 2 included.

The instrument steel meets ASTM F899, set out on the FDA recognized standards page. Browse periodontal, diagnostic and restorative instruments, compare with our McCall Curettes and Scalers for another curette family, and read our FAQs before ordering.
