Gracey Curette 5-6 Double Ended Dual End Hollow Handle

Gracey Curette 5-6 – Double-Ended Hollow-Handle Periodontal Instrument

Description
The Gracey 5-6 curette is an area-specific periodontal instrument designed for precise supragingival and subgingival scaling, debridement, and root planing — especially suited for anterior teeth and premolars. Its offset blade and double-ended design allow clinicians to effectively remove plaque and calculus from tooth surfaces while minimizing tissue trauma. The hollow stainless-steel handle improves balance, reduces instrument weight, and enhances tactile sensitivity for better control and comfort.

Key Features

• Area-Specific Blade Design (5/6) — The blade is offset by roughly 70°, ensuring that only the lower cutting edge contacts the root surface, which enables efficient debridement with minimal soft-tissue trauma.

• Double-Ended Instrument — Having two working ends in one instrument enhances efficiency: clinicians can alternate between ends for mesial or distal surfaces without switching instruments.

• Hollow Handle Construction — The hollow handle reduces overall weight, improving ergonomic comfort and tactile feedback — beneficial during prolonged periodontal procedures.

• Stainless Steel Build & Sterilizable — Made from high-grade stainless steel, the curette is corrosion-resistant, durable, and suitable for repeated sterilization cycles.

• Adaptable to Various Tooth Surfaces — Designed for use on anterior teeth and premolars, covering both buccal and lingual aspects, including proximal surfaces and subgingival areas.

• Balanced Ergonomics for Clinician Comfort — The combination of offset blade geometry and hollow-handle design allows precise scaling with less hand fatigue, improving clinician control and patient comfort.

Applications

• Supragingival and subgingival scaling and root planing on anterior teeth and premolars.

• Removal of light-to-moderate calculus and plaque deposits from root surfaces and interproximal areas.

• Periodontal maintenance therapy and routine prophylaxis for anterior and premolar regions.

• Use in both clinical and hygiene-maintenance settings, for periodontal debridement and cleaning of accessible tooth surfaces.

Ideal For

• Dental hygienists, dentists, and periodontists performing manual scaling and root planing on anterior and premolar teeth.

• Practices and clinics requiring a lightweight, ergonomic, and reliable curette for general periodontal and prophylactic procedures.

• Students and training institutions focusing on mastering area-specific instrumentation and proper root-surface debridement.

• Clinics emphasizing patient comfort and clinician ergonomics during scaling and maintenance procedures.
