Dental Explorer 23/17A – Precision Double-Ended Diagnostic Tool for Dental Examinations

The Double-Ended Dental Explorer 23/17A is a fundamental diagnostic instrument designed to assist dental professionals in detecting caries, calculus deposits, enamel defects, and root surface irregularities. It combines two highly functional explorer tips — the Shepherd’s Hook #23 and the Fine-Tip #17A — making it an ideal multi-use tool for both supragingival and subgingival assessments.

Crafted from high-quality, surgical-grade stainless steel, the explorer is corrosion-resistant, durable, and suitable for repeated autoclave sterilization. Its slender, precisely angled tips are designed to provide excellent tactile sensitivity, allowing clinicians to feel even the smallest surface changes.
