Sale price$0.00

Key Features

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

Usage

  • 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.

Maintenance

  • 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.
