Dental Instrument Explorer/Probe Fig.5 with handle no. 3

OverviewOne of the important processes in dental diagnostics is to examine the defects in either gums or teeth with the help of a special-purpose range of explorers. With the help of different designs of nibs, dentists can reach out to sensitive areas and have a feel of the gums or teeth to check whether the fillings are intact or not. They are also used to poke and look for possible cavities. This type of instrument is used for non-cutting diagnostic procedures such as exploring pockets, furcation, calculus, and caries.
