- Used in dental hygiene procedures
Features:
- Purpose:
- Used for scaling and root planing on the mesial, buccal, and lingual surfaces of posterior teeth
- Amazing Gracey blade:
- Has a continuously curved blade that allows for easier adaptation to the tooth's surface and more efficient contact, requiring fewer strokes during a procedure
- Design:
- This instrument is double-ended
- One end for accessing the mesial surfaces of posterior teeth
- Other end for the buccal and lingual surfaces
- Shank:
- Features a standard shank, which is less rigid than a "Rigid" model and is ideal for light to moderate calculus removal.
- Handle:
- The double-ended instrument has a large-diameter, ultra-lightweight, solid resin handle with extended knurling in "Sunshine Yellow"
- This design improves grip, enhances tactile sensitivity, and helps reduce hand fatigue and the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome

- Instrument tips are made from cryogenically treated 440A surgical stainless steel, which makes them harder, sharper, and tougher
- This treatment allows them to hold their edge longer than many competitors
- Manufacturing:
