The curette-style bone scraper is a double-ended hand instrument — the Buser back action chisel, Helmut Zepf No. 24.495.01, 24.495.02 and 24.495.03 — with 3, 4 and 5 mm working ends for scraping autogenous bone chips. Helmut Zepf makes all three in Germany, and every one on this page ships from our US warehouse.
It is a versatile, reusable curette-style bone harvester designed for precise and efficient autogenous bone collection in implantology and periodontal surgery.
This classic curette-style bone scraper features a rounded, sharp working end that excels at scraping and harvesting high-quality cortical bone chips with excellent cell viability.

Classic Curette-Style Performance
The Bone Scraper - Curette Style offers a familiar feel for clinicians who prefer traditional scraping techniques. Its rounded curette blade allows for clean, effective harvesting while preserving the osteogenic potential of the collected bone chips — still considered the gold standard in regenerative dentistry.
For higher-volume cases, pair it with the ZEPF Bone Scraper II (disposable blade system) or combine with our Castroviejo Needle Holders, dental micro mirrors, and other microsurgical instruments for complete procedural precision.

Which Curette-Style Bone Scraper Do You Need?
All three are the same Buser pattern; choose by the pair of working-end widths.
Clinical Use
The curette-style bone scraper is used for autogenous bone harvesting in implantology and periodontal surgery — socket preservation, ridge augmentation, sinus lift and guided bone regeneration, and small-volume grafting — and, as a back action chisel, for bone contouring and periodontal osseous surgery. The sharp working end scrapes cortical bone into chips that can be collected and packed into the defect.
