Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A surgical curette is specifically designed to scrape and clean the inside of a socket after an extraction. It is used to remove any remaining diseased tissue, abscesses or debris from the socket walls. Forceps, root tip picks and elevators are not designed for this purpose and may even cause damage to the socket.
