Rigid After Gracey 11/12 Curette, Extended Mesial Reach

Rigid After Gracey 11/12 Curette is selected for mesial posterior pockets that are both deeper than 5mm and carrying moderate to heavy calculus, a combination the standard 11/12 and the standard After 11/12 are not built to handle at the same time.

The defining feature is a terminal shank 3mm longer than the standard 11/12, matching the After pattern’s reach, combined with a thicker, stiffer shank profile that resists flexing under the extra lateral pressure heavier calculus requires. The blade keeps its standard full width and 70-degree offset cutting edge.

Clinically, it is used for deep scaling and root debridement on mesial posterior surfaces during active periodontal therapy, typically paired with the Rigid After 13/14 for matching distal reach. Double-ended, medical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable.
