Curette Insert, Gracey 6 M5

The Gracey Curette Insert is a precision periodontal instrument designed for area-specific subgingival scaling and root planing. Engineered to reach distinct tooth surfaces and pocket depths, this insert delivers controlled, effective debridement with minimal tissue trauma.

About the Gracey 6 M5

The Gracey 6 M5 variant is designed for use on the anterior teeth and premolars, targeting buccal and lingual surfaces with accuracy. The offset blade angle — a hallmark of the Gracey design — ensures that only one cutting edge contacts the root surface at the correct angulation, reducing the risk of tissue damage and improving tactile sensitivity for the clinician.

As a Gracey Curette Insert, this instrument is compatible with ultrasonic or sonic handpiece systems that accept interchangeable inserts, offering versatility across a range of clinical setups. The M5 designation typically refers to the insert tip profile and thickness, optimized for moderate to deep periodontal pockets where access demands a refined, slender profile.
