Periodontal curettes designed to adapt to most areas of the dentition for subgingival calculus removal (i.e., scaling) using two cutting edges. These curettes typically consist of handheld, manual instruments with a working end that resembles a solid spoon with sharp edges and a handle at the other end; two cutting edges are formed, one on either side of the face. Two-cutting-edge periodontal curettes (commonly known as universal curettes) can adapt to most areas of the dentition by modifying the hand position and the fingers rest.
