FAQ

What surfaces is this Gracey Curette designed for? This instrument is specifically designed for mesial surfaces of premolars and molars, with a skewed blade to facilitate access in difficult subgingival areas.

What is the benefit of titanium inserts? Titanium inserts offer a favorable strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance, supporting both instrument longevity and clinical performance.

Is the ZEPF-bIONIK handle autoclavable? As a professional-grade dental instrument from Helmut Zepf, it is intended for clinical sterilization protocols, though practitioners should follow the manufacturer's specific guidelines.

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).
