- Used in dental hygiene procedures
Features:
- Purpose:
- Designed for scaling and root planing the buccal and lingual surfaces of premolars
- 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:
- Like other Gracey curettes, the blade face is offset at approximately 70° from the lower shank
- This angulation, combined with the R022's shank design, is specifically tailored for scaling the buccal and lingual surfaces of premolars
- 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 "Orca Black"
- 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
