• Manufacturer: Helmut Zepf, No. 24.201.01GM5-TI

Why Choose This Gracey Curette?

The Gracey Curette has long been the gold standard for area-specific periodontal instrumentation. This M5 variant pairs that trusted geometry with the ZEPF-bIONIK handle system, which is ergonomically shaped to reduce hand and wrist strain. Titanium tips ensure the instrument maintains its edge through repeated sterilization cycles while remaining notably lighter than conventional stainless steel alternatives.

Helmut Zepf instruments are manufactured in Germany, reflecting stringent quality standards and a long-standing tradition of dental craftsmanship. The yellow color-coding on the handle aids rapid tray setup and instrument identification in a clinical environment.

Award-Winning Handle Design

The bIONIK handle won the Red Dot Design Award in 2010, the year of its launch. The jury of the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen in Essen, Germany, honored the bIONIK handle’s ergonomic design, high-tech material, and exceptional lightness and durability.

FAQ

What teeth is this Gracey Curette designed for? This instrument is specifically configured for anterior (front) teeth, using the 1/2 blade pattern with a slightly angled tip for precise access.

Are titanium-tipped curettes autoclavable? Titanium instruments are generally compatible with standard autoclave sterilization, maintaining their integrity through repeated cycles. Always follow your practice's sterilization protocols.

What makes the ZEPF-bIONIK handle different? The bIONIK handle is ergonomically contoured to minimize muscle fatigue and improve tactile sensitivity during scaling procedures.

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).

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).
