ZEPF-bIONIK Handle

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).
Pairing tip: combine this Langer 5/6 with the Langer 17/18 — whose triple-bend geometry mirrors the Gracey 17/18 for premolars and molars — and two instruments cover every tooth from 1 to 8 in both jaws. Manufacturer literature (PDF).
