13/14 After Five Gracey Curette

The 13/14 After Five Gracey Curette is designed for professional dental hygiene and periodontal procedures requiring enhanced access to deeper periodontal areas. The Gracey 13/14 configuration is intended for posterior tooth instrumentation, while the After Five design incorporates an extended shank to provide additional reach compared with standard Gracey curettes. The extended shank helps clinicians access deeper periodontal pockets while maintaining controlled adaptation of the Gracey working end to the tooth surface. This makes the instrument suitable for subgingival calculus removal and root surface debridement during appropriate periodontal procedures. The curette can be incorporated into periodontal maintenance, nonsurgical periodontal treatment, and comprehensive dental hygiene instrument sets. Its ergonomic handle supports secure finger positioning and controlled manipulation during clinical instrumentation. When supplied as a reusable stainless-steel instrument, the 13/14 After Five Gracey Curette should be cleaned, sterilized, inspected, and maintained according to applicable manufacturer instructions and clinical protocols.
