• Superior Sharpness: Scientifically measured to be over 60% sharper than the closest competitor out of the package.

• Edge Retention: Stays sharp 50% longer after 500 strokes compared to other major brands, meaning less frequent sharpening.

• Uncoated Performance: The sharpness is a result of metallurgy and finishing, not a superficial coating, allowing the instrument to be resharpened throughout its life without losing its properties.

• Purple Identification Grips: Features distinctive purple silicone grips for easy identification of the EverEdge 2.0 line within a sterile setup.

• Diamond Knurl Handle: Large-diameter handle with a unique cross-hatch pattern for a confident, non-slip grasp and reduced hand strain.

This set typically features a combination of Gracey Curettes and Sickle Scalers. Gracey curettes are area-specific, featuring a 70° offset blade for perfect adaptation to specific tooth surfaces, while the sickle scalers (like the S23/24) are designed for removing supragingival calculus. The "2.0" designation refers to Hu-Friedy's most advanced finishing process that eliminates "burrs" (metal flaps) on the blade edge for a smoother, cleaner cut.

The images show a selection of the most popular patterns, typically including:

• Gracey 1/2: For anterior teeth (all surfaces).

• Gracey 5/6: For anterior and premolar teeth.

• Gracey 7/8: For buccal and lingual surfaces of posterior teeth.

• Gracey 11/12: For mesial surfaces of posterior teeth.

• Gracey 13/14: For distal surfaces of posterior teeth.

• Sickle Scaler (S23/24): Universal sickle for supragingival scaling.

• Instrument Tray: Often packaged in a clear, protective plastic cassette or blister tray for shipping.

• Selection: Choose the specific Gracey curette corresponding to the anatomical area of the mouth (e.g., 13/14 for distal posterior).

• Adaptation: The Gracey blade is correctly adapted when the lower cutting edge is against the tooth and the terminal shank is parallel to the long axis of the tooth.

• Activation: Use light-to-moderate lateral pressure with short, controlled overlapping strokes.

• Sharpening: When the blade eventually dulls, use a natural or synthetic sharpening stone (e.g., Arkansas or India stone) to restore the edge.

• Sterilization: Fully autoclavable. Clean instruments ultrasonically using an enzymatic solution (like Enzymax®) before sterilization.

• Chemical Warning: Do not expose the resin or silicone parts to solutions containing phenols, glutaraldehydes, or iodophors, as these can degrade the material.

• Recycling: Eligible for the Environdent® program, where you can trade in old instruments for new ones.

• Limited Lifetime Warranty: Hu-Friedy warrants against defects in materials and workmanship for the expected life of the instrument.

• Coverage: Includes breakage, joint failure, and corrosion under normal use.

• Exclusions: Does not cover routine wear and tear, damage from misuse, or "retipping" (replacing just the tip) by a third party, which voids the warranty.
