Design and Shape:
- Double-Ended: The Explorer 6XL-TU17 usually comprises two working ends, each designed for different diagnostic purposes.
- 6XL Tip: One end of the explorer, known as the 6XL tip, has a longer and slightly curved design, offering enhanced access to difficult-to-reach areas within the mouth.
- TU17 Tip: The opposite end of the instrument features a TU17 tip, which is a shepherd's hook-shaped explorer ideal for detecting caries and calculus in interproximal areas and along the gum line.
Material:
- Construction: Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability, resistance to corrosion, and compatibility with standard sterilization processes.
- Handle: Ergonomically designed with a textured surface to provide a comfortable and secure grip, reducing hand fatigue during examinations.

Caries Detection: Utilized to identify soft spots or sticky areas on tooth surfaces, indicative of carious lesions or decay.
Calculus Detection: Helps in locating and assessing hardened deposits of calculus on tooth surfaces.
Interproximal Examination: Particularly effective in examining the areas between teeth where caries and calculus often accumulate.
General Examination: Suitable for comprehensive evaluations of all tooth surfaces and adjacent gum tissues.

Sterilization: Must be sterilized between uses to maintain a hygienic environment and prevent cross-contamination. Autoclaving is the standard sterilization method.
Sharpening: Regular maintenance may be required to ensure the explorer's tips remain sharp and effective.
