CURETTING Meaning and Definition

1. Curetting is a medical procedure that involves using a curette, a small instrument with a curved or spoon-shaped tip, to scrape or remove tissue or foreign matter from a body cavity or surface. This technique is commonly used in various medical fields, including obstetrics and gynecology, dermatology, and dentistry.

   In obstetrics and gynecology, curetting is often performed during a procedure called dilation and curettage (D&C). This involves dilating the cervix and using a curette to gently scrape or suction the lining of the uterus, also known as the endometrium. D&C is often used to diagnose or treat conditions such as abnormal uterine bleeding, incomplete miscarriage, or to remove uterine polyps or fibroids.

   Dermatologists may also use curetting to remove or scrape off abnormal or cancerous skin lesions or growths. The procedure can be done under local anesthesia, and the tissue removed is usually sent for further examination to determine if it is benign or malignant.

   In dentistry, curetting is a technique used during periodontal therapy to remove plaque, tartar, and infected tissue from the surface of the gums and tooth roots. Dental curettes have special designs that allow them to reach different areas of the mouth, promoting thorough cleaning and removal of debris.

   Overall, curetting is a medical procedure that involves using a specific instrument, called a curette, to remove tissue or foreign matter from a body cavity or surface for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
