  • Article Number: SSI-1701

  • Dental Explorers (Sickle/Hooked ends): The instruments with sharp, curved tips (like a hook) are used to detect tooth decay (cavities), calculus (tartar), and irregularities on the tooth surface.
  • Fine Tips: The tips are extremely thin and precise to allow the dentist to feel for microscopic changes in the tooth enamel.
  • Sharpening: Explorers must be kept sharp to remain effective at detecting small lesions.
