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. Manufacturer literature (PDF).

Nanopal® coating: the black crystalline nano-coating raises surface hardness to 4,500 Vickers — the highly tempered cutting edge stays aggressive and sharp far longer and does not need resharpening after each curettage, while the scratch-resistant black surface is easy to clean and prevents light reflections. Manufacturer literature (PDF).

Specifications: Zepf No. 24.751.101GM5OX

As a Gracey 1 curette end, this insert is ground for anterior teeth and is used subgingivally for scaling and root planing, and its M5 shank (longer, thinner, with a shortened working end) reaches deep, narrow pockets. Its NANOPAL coating is a harder surface for a longer-lasting edge. When the edge is worn or sharpened down, only this insert is exchanged and the handle is kept.
