Langer Curettes

Langer-type curettes combine Gracey shank patterns with a universal blade, allowing mesial and distal use with fewer instrument changes:

• Universal blade

• Gracey-type shank design

• Set of four for the dentition

• Relatively rigid design; slightly shorter/thicker terminal shank

Available in standard, After Five-type, and Mini Five-type versions (Figures 26-29). Suggested areas (Figures 30-33):

• 1/2 Langer - mandibular posterior mesial/distal

• 3/4 Langer - maxillary posterior mesial/distal

• 5/6 Langer - anterior and premolars

• 17/18 Langer - posterior

Equivalent universal-blade / area-shank combinations exist under other brand names.
