Lucas Curette #88, J&J Instruments #02-288

The Lucas Curette #88 is a dental instrument used primarily for periodontal scaling and root planing. It is a shaped blade to remove subgingival calculus, plaque, and debris from the root in a periodontal pocket. The #88 Lucas Curette is designed for use in challenging-to-reach spaces and is able to navigate around the roots of teeth and into subgingival spaces. The Lucas Curette #88 has a finely tapered, curved blade that fits nicely to the root surface. This instrument is designed to be used to clean and smooth root surfaces after scaling, and its use leads to a cleaner and smoother surface for a more favorable response of gum attachment.The Lucas Curette #88 is constructed using premium stainless steel, combining robustness and durability with a corrosion-resistant surface that prolongs its lifespan, even after several sterilization cycles. Also, the handle is ergonomically shaped to limit hand fatigue while providing a secure grip for long procedures. This enables the clinician to remain precise, particularly in sensitive regions.
