A Gracey 5/6 area-specific curette with a moulded silicone handle. The 5/6 blade is angled for the anterior teeth and premolars, removing subgingival calculus while the offset blade face limits trauma to the surrounding tissue. Gracey 5/6 pattern for anterior teeth and premolars Offset blade adapts to the root surface for efficient subgingival scaling Ergonomic silicone handle reduces pinch force and hand fatigue Hardened Japanese-standard J2 stainless steel working end, autoclavable FAQsWhat teeth is the Gracey 5/6 used on?It is designed for the anterior teeth and premolars. Working the pattern matched to the tooth area gives better blade adaptation and less tissue trauma than a universal curette.Why choose a silicone handle?A moulded silicone handle is wider and lighter than a solid steel one, so it takes less pinch force to control the instrument. Across a full day of appointments that means noticeably less hand fatigue, and the textured surface keeps its grip when wet or gloved.What material is this instrument made from?The working end is hardened Japanese-standard J2 stainless steel, which holds its edge through repeated autoclave cycles, set into a moulded silicone handle. Both are fully autoclavable.Part of a full Gracey range covering every tooth surface, available with steel or silicone handles.Manufactured by InstruDental, UK specialists in dental hand instruments.
