The Gracey After Five Set consists of six specialized periodontal curettes. They are modified versions of standard Gracey curettes, featuring longer and thinner shanks. This “After Five” design allows the working blade to reach deeper into periodontal pockets (5mm and beyond) and provides improved access to root surfaces within Class II and III furcation defects. The set includes area-specific instruments (such as equivalents to Gracey 11/12, 13/14, etc.) that maintain the precise angulation of the originals but with the enhanced reach necessary for treating moderate to severe periodontitis. They are essential for non-surgical therapy in advanced cases.
Unique Value Proposition: This set solves the critical access problem of instrumenting deep pockets and furcations. The extended, thinner shanks allow the curette blade to reach the base of deep defects without the shank binding against the tooth or tissue, enabling more thorough debridement where standard instruments fail and improving outcomes in complex periodontal disease.
