Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mini extended area-specific curette is designed to reach into narrow and deep periodontal pockets and furcations, as the blade is half the length of a standard curette. The universal, extended area-specific, anterior, and posterior curettes have standard-length blades, not ideal for scaling deep into narrow periodontal pockets or furcations.
