2 Double Gracey Explanation cutting edge 70 face The angle of the standard Gracey curettes. Gracey curettes Standard Gracey curettes have a face angled at an average of 70 to the terminal shank. (See illustration at left). The working end (the blade) is rounded. Variations with longer shanks and shorter blades are used for procedures in deeper and narrower pockets, or for use in furcations. Gracey curettes are area specific. The operator needs a minimum number of instruments to optimise the efficiency of the system = 1 Double Gracey The Latest Innovation The Double Gracey range is the latest innovation from American Eagle Instruments. Two instruments combined in one. This allows the operator to follow the Gracey technique, but with the economy of using universal curettes.

3 XP-Technology Explanation Double Gracey and XP-Technology The Ultimate Team! The development of the Double Gracey range is only possible because of XP Technology. The configuration of Double Gracey instruments is very complicated. They are designed NOT to be sharpened. All Instruments with XP technology keep their edges so long, that the need for sharpening has been eliminated. After long use, they are replaced WITHOUT SHARPENING. No more Sharpening! XP Technology is a patented process of surface engineering. The surface of the instrument is metallurgically hardened. This allows for the production of thinner instruments, with sharper edges. The unpopular procedure of sharpening is eliminated.

The surface becomes harder and durable. Standard instruments are produced from stainless- or carbon-steel, reaching a hardness value of 58 to 63 on the Rockwell scale. With XP technology, a hardness value of 89 is reached! XP instruments will therefore last far longer strokes strokes Independent tests performed at the University of Toronto, Dr. Phillip A. Watson, Dept. of Biological and Diagnostic Sciences. 15,000 Strokes 100 Times Greater Wear Independent studies have shown XP Technology to be a revolutionary technical advancement in the dental industry. Dr. Phillip A. Watson from the University of Toronto was able to prove the phenomenal wearability of instruments treated with XP Technology over the same instruments produced with the best available stainless steel.

4 Double Gracey»Regular«Instruments Classic Gracey Gracey curettes are designed to adapt to specific anatomical areas of the teeth for sub-gingival scaling and root planing. The blade angle allows easier insertion into the sulcus while minimizing soft tissue trauma.

6 Double Gracey»Mini«Instruments Double Gracey Mini For Deeper Pockets With the blade half as long and the terminal shank 3 mm longer than that of a regular Double Gracey, the whole blade is easily placed at root surfaces. Narrow pockets and root furcations are also accessible. Shank 3 mm longer 50% shorter blade Double Gracey Mini Anterior Replaces Gracey Access (Mini-Five *) 00-0, 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8. Double Gracey Mini Posterior Replaces Gracey Access (Mini-Five *) 11-12, 13-14, TESTIMONIAL Liisa Mellanen, Finland With Double Gracey... in the future, I will have 2 instead of 4 curettes in my tray I will save over 30 % working time it s very easy to get used to the new technique, requiring less than 10 procedures * Mini Five is Trademark of the Hu-Friedy.

Two instruments replace a whole range of Gracey Access (Mini Five ) curettes. Double Gracey Mini Anterior Double Gracey Mini Posterior TESTIMONIAL Juliette Reeves, United Kingdom I use Double Gracey for root-planing, especially for initial-phase therapy less strokes are required to smooth the root surface 2 instruments instead of 4 much less pressure is required easy to get used to saves considerable time I think they are a great addition to my perio kit.
