Gracey Curette - M5 Deep Scaling (GRA 7/8) for Premolars / Molars, More Sharply Angled - ZEPF-bIONIK Handle in Lightred-Magenta, Titanium Inserts | Helmut Zepf No. 24.205.07GM5-TI

The Gracey Curette M5 Deep Scaling (GRA 7/8) is a precision periodontal instrument engineered for effective subgingival scaling and root planing on premolars and molars. Featuring a more sharply angled blade design, this Gracey Curette variant reaches deeper into periodontal pockets and navigates complex root morphologies with exceptional accuracy and control.

Instrument Design & Features

• Pattern: Gracey 7/8 – optimized for premolars and molars
• Design: M5 Deep Scaling with a more sharply angled working end for enhanced subgingival access
• Handle: ZEPF-bIONIK in Lightred-Magenta – ergonomically shaped for reduced hand fatigue during extended clinical procedures
• Inserts: Titanium – lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and highly durable
• Manufacturer: Helmut Zepf, Germany

Clinical Application

This Gracey Curette is specifically designed for professional periodontal therapy. The GRA 7/8 pattern addresses the buccal and lingual surfaces of posterior teeth, while the M5 deep-scaling geometry enables precise instrumentation in deeper pocket depths. The titanium inserts contribute to a reduced overall instrument weight, supporting tactile sensitivity and minimizing operator fatigue.

ZEPF-bIONIK Handle

The Lightred-Magenta ZEPF-bIONIK handle offers an ergonomic grip profile developed to support a relaxed hand posture. Its distinctive color coding assists with instrument identification and organization within the clinical tray setup.

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 the Gracey Curette 7/8 used for? The 7/8 pattern is specifically designed for scaling and root planing on premolars and molars, addressing both buccal and lingual surfaces.

What does M5 Deep Scaling mean? M5 refers to a more sharply angled blade geometry that enables deeper subgingival access compared to standard Gracey designs, making it suitable for deeper periodontal pockets.

Why choose titanium inserts? Titanium inserts reduce instrument weight, enhance tactile feedback, and offer excellent resistance to corrosion and repeated sterilization cycles.

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).
