The long shank and slender design allow these tips to be used in places that are out of reach with regular sized tips. For instance, when furcations are present or when teeth overlap (crowding) because the bite was never corrected with braces.
Longer shank than regular curettes for better access into deeper pockets.
Shorter blades (on average 1.2 mm) permit better scaling in NARROW pockets, reduce tissue damage and offer great adaptation to the root surface.
Slender blades aid in tactile sensitivity and enhance deep pocket access and adaptation to the root surfaces.
