GRACEY CURETTES – DIFFERENCES BETWEEN STANDARD, AF AND MF TYPE - QUICK REFERENCE SHEET

Dr. Clayton Gracey Curettes

Standard type:

Gracey Curettes are area specific to allow for deep scaling, root planing and periodontal debridement. Gracey Curettes are used in a set to completely scale the dentition.

AF Type (evolution):

Designed for instrumentation in deeper periodontal pockets. The length of the blade is the same of Gracey Standard Type The terminal shank is elongated 3mm to provide better clearance around crowns, and superior access to root contours and pockets 5mm or more in depth. Blade thinned by 10% to ease gingival insertion and reduce tissue distention.

MF Type (evolution):

Designed with the same elongated terminal shank and thinned blades as the After Five Gracey Curettes. Shorter blade (approximatively - 50%) for access to smaller roots, narrow pockets, furcations, and developmental grooves.

Note:

the misures are approximate, for more technical details see European Standard EN ISO 13397-2.
