• Terminal shank extended by 3mm for deep pocket access
• Blade width 0.9mm with 10% thinner cross-section
• Single lower cutting edge offset at 70°
• Rounded toe and curved back to minimize soft tissue trauma
• 17cm length with lightweight hollow knurled handle (~14g)
• Improved crown clearance for posterior instrumentation
• Constructed from AISI 420 surgical-grade stainless steel; autoclavable up to 134°C
The Gracey After Five dental curettes (6pcs) set includes six double-ended, area-specific instruments covering patterns 1/2, 5/6, 7/8, 11/12, 13/14, and 17/18. Each instrument measures approximately 17 cm with a knurled hollow handle weighing around 14 grams. The terminal shank runs 3 mm longer than a standard Gracey, extending subgingival reach into pockets measuring 5 mm or deeper. Blade width measures 0.9 mm with a 10% thinner cross-section, reducing entry force into tight gingival sulci. All six instruments are manufactured from AISI 420 surgical-grade stainless steel and autoclavable at 134°C.
The blade face sits at a 70-degree offset to the terminal shank, producing a single lower cutting edge that adapts to root surfaces when the shank runs parallel to the tooth. The extended shank bend improves crown clearance, keeping the handle away from the opposing arch during posterior access. Scalers & Curettes – Gracey After Five variants are indicated for patients with moderate-to-advanced periodontal disease where standard shank length falls short. The rounded blade toe and curved back prevent soft tissue laceration during deep subgingival stroke activation.
Periodontal instruments like this After Five set are used by periodontists and dental hygienists during non-surgical root planing, maintenance visits, and pre-surgical debridement. The 1/2 addresses anterior teeth, 5/6 handles premolars, 7/8 covers posterior facial and lingual zones, 11/12 and 13/14 reach mesial and distal molar surfaces, and 17/18 accesses distal mandibular molars. The Gracey After Five dental curettes (6pcs) are also standard in periodontal residency training programs worldwide.
Leader Surgical produces this set with consistent shank angulation, verified blade offset geometry, and uniform handle balance — a dependable choice for practices managing deep-pocket periodontal cases daily.
What is the difference between standard Gracey and “After Five” curettes?
The “After Five” series is a modification of standard Gracey curettes designed for deeper subgingival scaling:
Extended Shank: The terminal shank is 3mm longer, allowing access to periodontal pockets 5mm or deeper.
Thinner Blade: The blade is approximately 10% thinner than a standard Gracey, reducing tissue distention and easing insertion into tight pockets.
