{"title":"Gracey 7\/8 Curette","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGracey 7\/8\u003c\/strong\u003e is the area-specific curette for the buccal and lingual surfaces of premolars and molars. Like every Gracey, its blade is offset about 70 degrees to the lower shank with a single working cutting edge, so it adapts to the root without cutting into the pocket wall, and the 7\/8 has a more sharply angled shank for the facial and lingual surfaces of posterior teeth. Helmut Zepf makes it in 8 configurations plus 8 replacement inserts, all in Germany, and every one on this page ships from our US warehouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich Gracey 7\/8 Curette Do

deep pockets: the first shank is about 3 mm longer than standard and only 0.95 mm thin, so it flexes and transmits tactile information, and the working end is shortened for access beyond 5 mm and along narrow root surfaces. \u003cstrong\u003eNANOPAL\u003c\/strong\u003e is a surface coating that leaves the instrument smoother and more corrosion-resistant, so it resists staining and reprocesses more easily. \u003cstrong\u003eTitanium\u003c\/strong\u003e working ends are for use around implants, where steel would mark the implant surface. The \u003cstrong\u003eZEPF-bIONIK\u003c\/strong\u003e handle is Zepf’s ergonomic, colour-coded handle with a textured grip that reduces hand fatigue. The \u003cstrong\u003eZ-SHAPE Relax\u003c\/strong\u003e handle is contoured for a relaxed modified pen grasp and takes interchangeable inserts. The \u003cstrong\u003eLOTUS\u003c\/strong\u003e line puts the same working ends on a coloured crystal handle. The \u003cstrong\u003ehollow stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e handle is the classic lightweight all-steel instrument. Interchangeable \u003cstrong\u003einserts\u003c\/strong\u003e fit the M4 × 0.5 mm and M2.5 Zepf handle systems (ZEPF-bIONIK QUICKFIX, Z-SHAPE Relax, ZEPF-Line) and change with the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/key-for-exchanging-hygiene-instrument-inserts\"\u003eZepf safety key\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSharpening, Retipping and Inserts\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn instrument earns its keep only while it is sharp.
