Clinical Application

The very fine tip geometry is particularly valuable when working in posterior regions and furcation areas where access is limited.

Design Notes
Nanopal® coating: the black crystalline nano-coating raises surface hardness to 4,500 Vickers — the highly tempered cutting edge stays aggressive and sharp far longer and does not need resharpening after each curettage, while the scratch-resistant black surface is easy to clean and prevents light reflections.

The Langer 5L working end is a universal curette for subgingival scaling and root planing, with a blade that adapts to both mesial and distal surfaces without changing inserts and a very fine tip for tight pockets and delicate root surfaces. The ZEPF NANOPAL coating gives a harder surface that holds its edge longer. Exchanging the insert renews the working end; the handle is retained.
