Curette Insert, Gracey 7 M5, Titanium

The Gracey Curette Insert is a precision periodontal instrument designed for area-specific subgingival scaling and root planing. This particular model — the Gracey 7 M5 in titanium — is engineered to address the buccal and lingual surfaces of posterior teeth, making it a dependable choice for thorough periodontal debridement.

Premium Titanium Construction

Crafted from high-grade titanium, this Gracey Curette Insert offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Titanium instruments are widely valued in periodontal practice for their durability, corrosion resistance, and reduced weight during extended procedures. The lightweight nature of the titanium design helps minimise clinician fatigue during demanding treatments.

Area-Specific Design

Following the classic Gracey principle, each insert is offset-ground to ensure only one cutting edge contacts the root surface at the correct angulation. The Gracey 7 M5 configuration is specifically suited for premolar and molar regions, delivering controlled, precise strokes that protect soft tissue while effectively removing calculus and biofilm deposits.

Design Notes

The M5 design: the first shank is about 3 mm longer than standard and the sharpened working end is shortened, with a 0.95 mm thin, flexible and therefore highly tactile first shaft — built for special subgingival curettage in tight, deep pockets (beyond 5 mm) and along narrow root surfaces.

Titanium for implant maintenance: the titanium working ends remove accumulated plaque film from implant necks without damaging the implant surface — the material choice that makes routine maintenance around implants safe. Manufacturer literature (PDF).
