Gracey design is the standard of care for complete pocket coverage deeper than 4 mm. More recently, 50% shorter working blades and a 3mm extended shank (called Gracey Access) have gained popularity for periodontally involved cases. We have taken the Gracey Access design one step further and thinned the working blade to improve root concavity and furcation access beyond 4 mm.
The complexity of a shorter working end makes it difficult to sharpen in stainless steel. With XP Technology’s reduced wear rate, the Gracey Access Pro Thin design will retain the original 70-degree edge angulation for consistent periodontal instrumentation.
The Gracey Access 7-8 Pro Thin curette is used in pockets greater than 4mm in anterior and pre-molar areas, as well as buccal and lingual molar furcations.
