- A Long Reach Younger-Good #7-8 universal curette from the Relyant® series, designed for versatile subgingival scaling and root planing in deep periodontal pockets
Uses
- Deep Pocket Debridement:
- A Long Reach terminal shank, which is 3mm longer than standard models to access deep pockets and root surfaces
- Posterior Scaling:
- Specifically engineered to adapt to the facial and lingual surfaces of bicuspids and molars, particularly the 2nd and 3rd molars
- Universal Application:
- While optimized for posterior use, its universal blade allows for application on anterior teeth, especially for removing lingual staining
- Subgingival Access:
- The rounded toe and elliptical blade shape allow for effective cleaning below the gumline while minimizing tissue trauma
Features
- Extended Terminal Shank:
- Provides a total reach of approximately 15mm (standard is 12mm), allowing for better access to deep periodontal anatomy
- Younger-Good Blade Pattern:
- Features a 1mm wide elliptical blade with a rounded toe and a specialized shank curvature that simplifies adaptation to posterior tooth anatomy
- Relyant® Handle (#6):
- A lightweight, ergonomic stainless steel handle (3/8" or 9.5mm diameter) designed to maximize tactile sensitivity and reduce hand fatigue
- Cryogenic Hardening:
- Crafted in the USA from high-carbon surgical-grade stainless steel that undergoes a proprietary cryogenic process for superior edge retention
Benefits
- Free Lifetime Sharpening:
- As part of the Relyant® series, this instrument qualifies for free, unlimited professional sharpening for life from Nordent
- Improved Patient Comfort:
