I am practicing sharpening today in class and this video is going to be extremely helpful! Thank you! :D

this was so clear, and perfect. really helped me- thank you!!

One of the best instructional videos I've ever seen. I learned that I have often mis-handled Gracey currettes. Being good at sharpening universal currettes and being good at sharpening Graceys really are two totally different skills!!!

This is a great resource for educators too...Thank you!

Great video!!! Makes it very easy to understand for beginners.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! Such a GREAT refresher!

Wow help alot

You're welcome, Laurie! -Megan

What about sharpening the disk end of an scnevi 19???

Greatfull

fist time sharpening curettes!!

how can I tell that a carver Is no longer able to be sharpened. my hygienist's constantly go through carvers.

I kept being confused by the position of the stone at 14 min in, it says to tilt the stone to about 3 min but the tip of the instrument isn't in the center of the clock. So is his position correct, or is the actual angle closer to 2 min? This isn't how clock hands work according to the graphics you splashed on the vid

I thought the cutting edge of a gracey was the side of the bend?

i love u bro

You try to give the video more brightness it will be great if you do

can i do a regular knife also

This vid was calming lol

at 20:08 The person mentions tip third when he should have said toe third when talking about a curette. Just to let y'all know. :)

It says that the cutting edge and non cutting edge of Gracey curettes are parallel(23:10), but in textbooks it's mentioned that they are curved. From text book: One widely used area-specific curet is the Gracey curet (Table 26-10). The Gracey curet blade is bent in a curve and is bent so that one cutting edge is elongated. This longer curved side of the Gracey curet, as shown in Figure 26-20, is the correct cutting edge. When the lower shank is held perpendicular to the floor with the face of the blade up, this cutting edge is slightly lower than the shorter edge. (Darby 454) Darby, Michele, Margaret Walsh.

I hate hygienists that use dull instruments .... horrible memories. Its so funny that they blame the patient.

It's a mixture of both people. Depends on the calculus load the patient has along with gingivitis

You try to give the video more brightness it will be great if you do
