- Can be used on both mesial and distal surfaces in posterior (back) regions of the mouth
Features:
- Universal curette:
- Unlike area-specific Gracey curettes, the Langer 3/4 is a universal curette designed with two cutting edges on each end, allowing it to be used on all tooth surface
- Combines the ergonomic advantages of a universal curette (two cutting edges) with the shank design of a Gracey curette for specific posterior areas
- Mini blades:
- Features shorter blades than standard Langer curettes
- The mini blades are designed for fine scaling and root planing, especially in narrow pockets
- Shank:
- Specifically designed for use in posterior regions
- Has a contra-angle which is optimized for accessing difficult-to-reach posterior teeth, particularly on interproximal surfaces and in shallow pockets
- Design benefits:
- Has a large-diameter, ultra-lightweight, solid resin handle with extended knurling in "Nautical Blue"
- This design improves grip, enhances tactile sensitivity, and helps reduce hand fatigue and the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome
- Superior materials:
- The tip is made from cryogenically treated 440A stainless steel, designed to be sharper, harder, and hold its edge longer
- Manufacturing:
- The instrument is handcrafted in the USA
