- Used in dental hygiene procedures
Features:
- Purpose:
- Quadrant-specific curette used for scaling and root planing, primarily on the mesial and distal 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 works on the mesial surfaces of posterior teeth
- Other end works on the distal surfaces of posterior teeth
- Shank:
- Is thicker, stronger, and less flexible than the standard model
- This design allows the clinician to apply greater pressure with minimal shank flex, making it highly effective for tenacious calculus removal
- Handle:
- The double-ended instrument has a large-diameter, ultra-lightweight, solid resin handle with extended knurling in "Caribbean Green"
- This design improves grip, enhances tactile sensitivity, and helps reduce hand fatigue and the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome
- Durability:
- 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:
- The instrument is handcrafted in the USA
