Gracey curette


11/12


17/18 


A Gracey Curette is a periodontal hand instrument used in dentistry, especially for scaling and root planing (deep cleaning of teeth and roots). It is area-specific, meaning each Gracey curette is designed to clean a particular tooth surface. 


ЁЯФ╣ Key Features:

Area-specific: Unlike a universal curette, only one cutting edge of a Gracey curette is sharpened and used. 


Blade angulation: The blade is offset at about 70° to the shank, which allows the lower cutting edge to be used against the tooth surface. 


Rounded back and toe: This design prevents trauma to gum tissue while working inside periodontal pockets. 


Shank design: Long and curved shanks provide access to deep or narrow pockets around different teeth. 


ЁЯФ╣ Common Types and Their Uses :

Gracey 1–2 → Anterior teeth (all surfaces)

Gracey 7–8 / 9–10 → Posterior teeth (buccal and lingual surfaces) 

Gracey 11–12 → Posterior teeth (mesial surfaces) 

Gracey 13–14 → Posterior teeth (distal surfaces) 

Gracey 15- 16  :  posterior teeth ( mesial surfaces)

Gracey 17- 18 :  posterior teeth ( distal surfaces)



ЁЯФ╣Clinical Use:

Removes calculus (tartar), plaque, and bacterial biofilm from teeth. 

Smoothens root surfaces (root planing) to help gums reattach to teeth. 

Provides tactile sensitivity to detect roughness or calculus below the gumline. 


 In short, a Gracey Curette is a specialized, site-specific dental instrument designed for safe and precise cleaning of different tooth surfaces during periodontal therapy.

Zhermack Putty Impression Material

Zhermack Putty Impression Material










What is Putty Impression Material?

Zhermack Putty Impression Material  (Base & Catalyst) Putty impression materials is addition silicone (PVS – Polyvinyl Siloxane) impression materials, supplied in two parts: 



 Zhermack Putty Base

1. Base Paste (Zhermack Putty Base) Usually colored (yellow, blue, or green depending on brand). Contains polyvinyl siloxane polymer and fillers. Provides bulk and body to the material. Determines viscosity (very high / putty consistency


Zhermac Putty Catalyst




















 2. Catalyst Paste (Zhermack Putty Catalyst / Hardener) Usually  white in color.   Contains cross-linking agent (hydrogen siloxane) and platinum salt catalyst. Initiates chemical reaction when mixed with base paste. Mixing & Setting Equal amounts of base and catalyst are mixed until a uniform color is obtained. 



Working time: ~1–2 minutes. 
Setting time: ~3–5 minutes (depending on brand). 

What is Putty used for?
  • Preliminary impression in crown & bridge. Used with light body wash technique (Putty-Wash technique). High viscosity makes it ideal for capturing gross anatomy and provides support for light body material. 


In short: Zhermack Catalyst = white paste (bulk, polymer). Zhermack Base = colored paste (initiates setting).

 HemoStat Gel is a professional dental hemostatic agent containing 20% Ferric Sulphate in a viscous aqueous vehicle. It is formulated to effectively control gingival and capillary bleeding during restorative and prosthodontic procedures. The solution has a low pH of about 1.0, which promotes rapid coagulation and bleeding control.


Indications / Uses

 Control of gingival bleeding during restorative procedures. Used with gingival retraction cords for sulcular hemostasis before taking HemoStat Gel (20% Ferric Sulphate). 


Description

 HemoStat Gel is a professional dental hemostatic agent containing 20% Ferric Sulphate in a viscous aqueous vehicle. It is formulated to effectively control gingival and capillary bleeding during restorative and prosthodontic procedures. The solution has a low pH of about 1.0, which promotes rapid coagulation and bleeding control.


Indications / Uses:

Control of gingival bleeding during restorative procedures. Used with gingival retraction cords for sulcular hemostasis before taking impressions. Facilitates a clean, dry operating field for accurate crown and bridge work. Hemostasis in cavity preparations and restorative dentistry (composites, amalgams). 


  Directions for Use

 1. Isolate and dry the treatment area. 

2. Apply HemoStat Gel directly to the bleeding site using the syringe tip provided. 

3. For gingival retraction, soak a retraction cord in the gel and place it in the gingival sulcus. 

4. Allow the gel to remain in contact with the tissue for 1–3 minutes. 

5. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry before proceeding with the impression or restorative procedure.


 Precautions

For dental use only (by professionals). Avoid prolonged contact with gingival tissues to prevent irritation. Do not place directly on dentin close to the pulp. Not intended for systemic hemostasis—local use only. 


 In summary, HemoStat Gel (20% Ferric Sulphate) is a reliable, fast-acting hemostatic agent that ensures a clean, blood-free working area in dental treatments.

Sure Cord Knitted Retraction Cord


SureCord Knitted Retraction Cord


A knitted nonimpregnated cord is a gingival retraction cord made from cotton or synthetic fibers that are knitted (not twisted or braided) and not pre-soaked with any chemical agent (i.e., nonimpregnated). 


SureCord Knitted Retraction Cord is a brand of knitted, gingival retraction cord commonly used in dentistry for precise and atraumatic gingival displacement.


 Key Characteristics


Knitted: The fibers are looped together in a way that allows the cord to expand when moistened, which helps in gentle but effective gingival retraction. 


Nonimpregnated: It does not contain any hemostatic or vasoconstrictive agents (e.g., epinephrine or aluminum chloride).


Absorbent: Can be soaked in a hemostatic solution if needed before placement. Conforms well to the sulcus due to its elasticity and compressibility. 


 Uses

Used to temporarily retract the gingiva for: Taking dental impressions Crown or bridge preparations Restorative procedures near the gingival margin .


Size Color Indication:

000 Violet Very fine — pediatric or narrow sulcus 

00 Yellow Fine — lower anterior 

 Blue Medium — general use 

1 Green Medium-thick — molars 

2 Black Thick — deep sulcus or heavy tissue



Advantages:

Allows custom impregnation with a solution of choice. Less risk of adverse reactions compared to cords impregnated with epinephrine. Expands gently, improving retraction and fluid control. 


 Examples of Use in Practice

1. Dentist isolates the tooth. 

2. Selects the appropriate size of knitted nonimpregnated cord. 

3. (Optional) Soaks the cord in hemostatic solution like  (e.g., aluminum chloride or ferric sulfate). 

4. Places it gently into the gingival sulcus to retract the tissue. 

5. After sufficient retraction, impression or procedure is completed.
