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.

Specifications: Zepf No. 24.751.104LM5

The Langer 4L working end is a universal curette for maxillary posterior teeth, with a blade that adapts to both mesial and distal surfaces without changing inserts, in the M5 deep-scaling execution with a longer, thinner first shank. Replacing the insert alone restores a sharp working end while the handle stays in service.
