5/6 After Five Gracey Curette

The 5/6 After Five Gracey Curette is designed for professional dental hygienists, dentists, and periodontal clinicians performing scaling and root surface debridement procedures. The 5/6 Gracey configuration is intended for appropriate anterior and premolar tooth surfaces, while the After Five design features an extended shank to provide additional reach into deeper periodontal areas. The extended shank helps clinicians access deeper periodontal pockets while maintaining appropriate adaptation of the Gracey working end to the tooth surface. This makes the instrument useful 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. The 5/6 After Five Gracey Curette is intended for professional use. When supplied as a reusable stainless-steel instrument, it should be cleaned, sterilized, inspected, and maintained according to applicable manufacturer instructions and clinical protocols.
