Inventors include Krrish; Dr. Lakkoji Keerthi Sasanka; and Deepak Nallaswamy Veeraiyan.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: A compact multi-instrument periodontal scaling device is disclosed, comprising six foldable curette instruments integrated within a single medical-grade stainless steel housing. The six working ends — Gracey 1/2, Gracey 7/8, Gracey 11/12, Gracey 13/14, Columbia Universal 13/14, and Langer 1/2 — are each configured for specific site-based scaling and root planing functions, collectively providing complete dentition coverage. Each instrument is pivotally mounted within the common housing, enabling selective independent deployment and secure retraction in a Swiss-knife configuration. The handle of the device is designed with a hollow internal structure to reduce overall weight while maintaining full mechanical integrity and clinical rigidity. The shank and working ends of each curette remain entirely solid to preserve the cutting efficiency and tactile sensitivity required for effective subgingival instrumentation. The foldable design enables compact storage, eliminates repeated instrument exchange during therapy, and significantly reduces tray clutter. The device is fully compatible with standard autoclave sterilization cycles, ensuring compliance with infection control protocols. CuretNest provides a unified, ergonomic, and efficient solution for periodontal practitioners by consolidating six indispensable curettes into one streamlined, clinically precise, and sterilizable instrument.
