Product Description

The Valdent USA #5 (#17/23) Double-End Stainless Steel Explorer is a versatile, precision diagnostic instrument featuring a combination of two popular tip designs. Made from durable surgical-grade stainless steel with a comfortable octagon handle, this explorer is essential for detecting calculus, identifying caries, evaluating restorative margins, and assessing tooth morphology.

Key Features & Benefits
  • Dual-Ended Versatility: Combines two distinct working ends:
    • #17 Tip: A contra-angled tip ideal for subgingival (below the gumline) exploration, accessing deep pockets, and checking the integrity of restorative margins.
    • #23 Tip (Shepherd’s Hook): A classic curved tip used primarily for supragingival (above the gumline) examination, detecting pit and fissure caries, and evaluating the smoothness of tooth surfaces.
  • Durable Stainless Steel Construction: Crafted from high-quality, corrosion-resistant surgical stainless steel, ensuring exceptional longevity and resistance to repeated sterilization cycles.
  • Octagon Handle Design: The ergonomic octagon handle provides a secure, comfortable, and slip-resistant grip, enhancing tactile sensitivity and minimizing hand fatigue during prolonged examinations.
  • Precision and Functionality: The sharp, fine tips allow for excellent tactile feedback, enabling dental professionals to feel subtle changes in tooth structure and surfaces.
  • Reusable and Autoclavable: Fully autoclavable and sterilizable, meeting stringent hygiene standards and built for repetitive use in a professional clinical setting.
  • Packaging: The product is supplied as a single instrument (1/Pk).

Intended Use
The Valdent USA #5 (#17/23) explorer is a foundational diagnostic tool used by dental professionals during routine examinations and procedures to:
  • Locate and assess dental decay (caries).
  • Detect calculus deposits on tooth surfaces.
  • Evaluate the adaptation and integrity of existing restorations and crowns.
  • Explore periodontal pocket depths and root surfaces.
