- Used in dental hygiene procedures
Features:
- Purpose:
- Designed for fine scaling and root planing in the posterior teeth, especially in deep and narrow periodontal pockets
- Heavy-duty version of the standard R004, designed to provide greater strength and leverage for removing moderate to heavy or stubborn calculus deposits
- 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
- Extended reach:
- Has an extended terminal shank, which allows for better access into hard-to-reach, narrow pockets and deep areas of the mouth
- 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
- Ergonomic 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
