{"title":"Langer 3\/4 Universal Curette","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eLanger 3\/4\u003c\/strong\u003e is a universal curette for maxillary (upper) premolars and molars. Langer curettes combine a universal blade — two cutting edges at 90 degrees to the shank — with the shank angulations of the Gracey series, so one instrument covers both mesial and distal surfaces of its region. Helmut Zepf makes it in 7 configurations plus 12 replacement inserts, all in Germany, and every one on this page ships from our US warehouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich Langer 3\/4 Universal

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.
