11/12AF After Five explorer
Key Features
-
Design and Shape:
- Working Ends: The 11-12AF model usually features double-ended working ends that are mirror images of each other. This allows for efficient use on both sides of the same instrument.
- Shape: The tips are curved to follow the natural contours of the teeth and roots, making it easier to reach subgingival (below the gum line) areas.
-
Material:
- Construction: Made of high-quality stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance.
- Handle: Lightweight, often made with a textured or ribbed surface for a firm grip and enhanced control. Some may have ergonomic designs to reduce hand fatigue.
-
After Five Design:
- Extended Shank: Longer shank (neck) compared to standard explorers, allowing better access to deeper periodontal pockets.
- Thinner Tips: Thinner, more delicate tips to minimize tissue trauma and improve access and sensitivity in deep pockets.
Usage
- Caries Detection: Helps identify cavities on the occlusal (biting) surfaces and between teeth.
- Calculus Detection: Detects roughness or deposits on the tooth surface and root, crucial for periodontal diagnosis and treatment planning.
- Plaque Detection: Can be used to assess the presence of plaque and biofilm on tooth surfaces.
Maintenance
- Sterilization: Must be sterilized between uses to maintain a sterile environment and prevent cross-contamination. Can be autoclaved.
- Sharpening: Regular sharpening may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness of the tips.
