Description
Dental Explorer 17/23 Probe assists dental professionals in detecting calculus, caries, and other anomalies on tooth surfaces. This versatile diagnostic instrument enhances precision and accuracy during dental examinations. With its dual-ended design, this probe offers precise and efficient examination capabilities. The 17-end is ideal for detecting caries and checking for subgingival calculus, while the 23-end, often referred to as the “shepherd’s hook,” is perfect for exploring pits, fissures, and detecting cavities.
Uses:
- Detecting Calculus: Identify and locate both supra-gingival and subgingival calculus deposits on teeth.
- Caries Detection: Explore and detect carious lesions on the enamel and dentin surfaces.
- Periodontal Examination: Assess the condition of the gingiva and detect any periodontal pockets.
- Restorative Evaluation: Check the margins of restorations for defects or overhangs.
- Plaque Detection: Identify plaque build-up areas to ensure thorough cleaning.
- Periodontal Assessment: The 17 end measures pocket depths and assesses gum health.
- Caries Detection: The explorer can identify early carious lesions on tooth surfaces.
- Root Surface Examination: It aids in evaluating root surfaces for irregularities or defects.
