Implant curette kits have become indispensable tools in the maintenance and treatment of dental implants. Unlike traditional metal curettes, these are made of plastic materials or special resins that allow for effective cleaning without damaging the implant surface. This is essential, as titanium implant surfaces are more susceptible to scratching, which could promote bacterial colonization and peri-implant bone loss.

The use of this type of curette is especially important during periodontal maintenance for patients with implants, in procedures such as the removal of bacterial plaque and supragingival calculus. Their ergonomic design and soft composition allow for precise and safe handling, reducing the risk of complications. Furthermore, their compatibility with different types of implants makes them a versatile option for dental health professionals.

Although their effectiveness may be somewhat lower than that of metal curettes in removing harder deposits, their safety makes up for this limitation. In many cases, they are complemented by other non-metallic instruments, such as coated ultrasonic tips, to achieve a more thorough cleaning without compromising the integrity of the implant. In addition, each instrument in the implant curette kit features a double active part designed with different shapes and angles that facilitate precise and delicate scraping, adapting to various surfaces.

Features:

The kit consists of 4 curettes: 1 open-ring curette; 1 flat-chisel and hook curette; 1 Gracey-type curette; and 1 chisel-type curette.
Dual active part.
Sterilizable at 134°C.
Versatility and precision
In short, the implant curette kit represents a modern and safe solution for treating patients with dental implants. Proper use helps prevent peri-implant diseases such as mucositis or peri-implantitis, thus contributing to the longevity of implant treatment. It is the professional’s responsibility to choose the correct instrumentation and to constantly update themselves on advances in materials and techniques to provide quality care and preserve long-term oral health.
