$0.00

Design and Shape:
- Double-Ended: The 3ES explorer usually features two working ends, each with distinct tip shapes to allow for comprehensive examination.
- 3ES Tip: The specific design of the 3ES tip includes a sharp, fine, and pointed end that is slightly curved or angled to provide excellent tactile sensitivity and access to difficult areas.
Material:
- Construction: Made from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and the ability to withstand repeated sterilization.
- Handle: Ergonomically designed with a lightweight, textured, or ribbed surface to ensure a secure grip and reduce hand fatigue during use.

Caries Detection: The fine tips are used to detect soft spots or sticky areas on the enamel and dentin, indicative of carious lesions.
Calculus Detection: Helps in identifying rough or hardened spots on the tooth surface that suggest the presence of calculus.
Plaque Detection: Can be used to locate and evaluate the presence of plaque on tooth surfaces.
General Examination: Suitable for a comprehensive examination of all tooth surfaces, including the occlusal (biting) surfaces, interproximal (between teeth) areas, and along the gum line.

Sterilization: Must be sterilized between uses to maintain a sterile environment and prevent cross-contamination. Standard methods like autoclaving are recommended.
Sharpening: Regular maintenance and sharpening of the tips may be necessary to ensure the instrument remains effective and sharp.
