When correctly angulated for scaling, how would the lower shank of a universal curet compare to the
lower shank of an area specific curet?
Both should be slightly tipped towards the long axis of the tooth
Both have different relationships to the long axis of the tooth
Both have the same relationship to the long axis of the tooth
Both should be parallel to the long axis of the tooth
Martin is going to debride the distal surface of a molar tooth. Which of the following curets should he
select for this task?
Gracey 13/14

Removing subgingival calculus in a 4mm periodontal pocket at 37 distal.
Removing supragingival calculus on the lingual of mandibular anterior teeth.
Janelle wants to evaluate if she has removed a ledge of supra gingival calculus. What should she
do?
Take a radiograph to see if it is still there.
Use a probe to measure the periodontal pocket.
Use an explorer to feel for roughness.
Ask the client if the area feels smoother.
