Dental Curettes AF Type 5/6

Dental Curettes AF Type (Fig. 5/6): Extended Reach for Anterior and Premolar Care

In periodontal treatment that is performed by professionals, conventional instruments can be inadequate when it comes to treating deep pockets in the periodontal pocket. The AF Type (After-Five) Dental Curette Fig. 5/6 is a special device specifically designed to fit into pockets that are deeper than 5mm.1 Modifying the standard Gracey 5/6 model, this "After-Five" model provides clinicians with a greater range and slim design required to ensure thorough debridement of the anterior teeth as well as premolars.

The AF (After-Five) Design Advantage

The Fig. 5/6 AF Type was designed to address problems with the "reach" problem in periodontal scaling. Two distinct structural changes characterize it:

• 3mm Longer Terminal Shank. This terminal shank has been increased by 3 millimetres compared to conventional curettes. 3 This permits the instrument to reach the base of the deep pockets in the anterior teeth as well as premolars without hitting the incisal edges or the dental crown.
  
• 10 Thinned Blade The working edge is 10 per cent thinner than a normal Gracey curette. 4 This narrower width makes it easier and more comfortable to insert into tight, constricting gingiva, and allows for better access to narrow root surfaces.
  

Premium Stainless Steel Durability

Made to last and with accuracy, these curettes are made from premium Stainless Steel. This material is crucial to maintain the highest standards needed in a clinical environment:

• Tactile Sensitivity The stainless steel that has been refined transmits acoustic vibrations from the surface of the root. It allows the dentist to "feel" the difference between cementum, calculus, and the tooth's structure, and calculus.
• Extraordinary Edge Retention Blades are tempered to keep them sharp throughout several procedures, ensuring effective "one-stroke" calculus removal.
• Resilience to Corrosion: Completely compatible with ultrasonic cleaning systems as well as high-temperature autoclaves to ensure that the equipment is clean and free of rust.

Essential Clinical Applications

The AF Type Fig. 5/6 is a specific tool to target specific anatomical regions:

1. Deep Anterior Scaling is ideal for the surface of the lingual and facial surfaces of the incisors and canines for patients suffering from advanced bone loss.
2. Premolar Root Planing. The ideal angle is for the mesial as well as distal surfaces of premolars to treat the deep lesions of periodontal disease.
3. Subgingival Debridement The thin blade reduces tissue distention, which makes it easier to scrub deeply into the sulcus and cause less discomfort for patients. 6
   
4. access to the narrow root: Its slim contour is perfect for navigating the mandible's narrow diameters. anterior teeth.
