Double Gracey | Explanation

face Gracey curettes
Standard Gracey curettes have a face angled at
70° an average of 70° to the terminal shank. (See
cutting
edge 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.
The angle of the standard
Gracey curettes. Gracey curettes are area speciﬁc. The operator
needs a minimum number of instruments to opti-
mise the efﬁciency of the system.

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 fol-
low the Gracey technique, but with the economy
DOUBLE
of using universal curettes. GRACEYxp

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.

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

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.

TESTIMONIAL Liisa Mellanen, Finland
• in the future, I will have 2 instead of 4 curettes in
my tray

With Double Gracey ... • I will save over 30 % working time
• it´s very easy to get used to the new technique,
requiring less than 10 procedures

Double Gracey Mini Anterior


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.
