- Used for deep scaling and root planing in the posterior areas of the mouth
Features:
- Target area:
- Specifically designed for use on the distal surfaces of posterior teeth
- Heavy-duty version of the standard R007, designed to provide greater strength and leverage for removing moderate to heavy or stubborn calculus deposits
- Extended reach:
- The terminal shank is longer than a standard Gracey curette, providing better access to hard-to-reach, narrow pockets and furcations
- Terminal shank 5mm longer than a standard Gracey instrument
- Rigid 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
- Miniature blade:
- The shorter, smaller blade is ideal for accessing extremely tight or narrow pockets
- Mini blade is half the length of standard blade
- Ergonomics:
- 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
