7/8 After Five Gracey Curette

The 7/8 After Five Gracey Curette is designed for dentists, dental hygienists, and periodontal professionals performing subgingival scaling and root surface debridement. The 7/8 Gracey configuration is intended for appropriate posterior tooth surfaces, while the After Five extended shank provides additional reach for instrumentation in deeper periodontal areas. The specialized Gracey working end is designed to adapt to tooth anatomy during periodontal instrumentation, supporting controlled engagement and removal of subgingival calculus and other deposits. The extended shank helps improve access where a standard-length curette may provide less reach. 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 procedures. The 7/8 After Five Gracey Curette is intended for professional clinical 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.
