Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The surgical curette (Prichard) is specifically designed to remove debris, cysts, and granulation tissue from the surgical site. The other instruments listed may be found in a surgical tray setup, but they are not specifically used for this purpose. Hemostats are used to clamp blood vessels, luxating elevators are used to loosen teeth, periosteal elevators are used to separate soft tissue from bone, and straight elevators are also used for tooth extraction.
