Vision Curvettes
When a Gracey-type does not access as desired, Vision Curvettes (or short, highly curved mini-type designs from other brands) can improve furcation access and deep anterior pockets on narrow roots (Figure 22). Design features often include (Figures 23-25):
Approximately 50% shorter blade
Increased blade curvature
Straighter shank
Identification mark for cutting edge
5-10 mm shank markings
Longer shanks on posterior instruments (approximately 3 mm)
Available as a modified set (e.g., Sub-0, 1/2, 11/12, 13/14).
