Clinical Application
The Gracey Curette Insert in the 7 M5 configuration is particularly suited for scaling the buccal and lingual surfaces of premolars and molars. Its area-specific curvature allows the clinician to maintain correct angulation against the root surface, facilitating thorough removal of calculus and biofilm while minimizing trauma to surrounding soft tissue.

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.

As a Gracey 7 curette end, this insert is ground for the facial and lingual surfaces of posterior 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. Exchanging the insert renews the working end; the handle is retained.
