- DG16 Endodontic Explorer
Features:
- Uses:
- Locating canals:
- The instrument's sharp, flexible tip is used to locate and probe the entrances of the root canals after the pulp chamber has been opened
- Removing pulp stones:
- Can also be used to carefully dislodge calcified pulp tissue or pulp stones that may be obstructing the entrance of the canal
- Tracing canals:
- The tactile feedback provided by the instrument is essential for following the initial path of the root canal
- Double-ended:
- Has a working tip on both ends
- Flexible and strong steel:
- Made from high-quality stainless steel that provides the necessary strength while remaining flexible enough for delicate endodontic work
Tactile sensitivity:
- Flexibility, combined with PDT's ultra-lightweight, ergonomic resin handle, provides exceptional tactile sensitivity
- This allows the dentist to "feel" the pulp chamber and root canal anatomy through the instrument
- Handle:
- The double-ended instrument has a large-diameter, ultra-lightweight, solid resin handle with extended knurling in "Emerald Green"
- This design improves grip, enhances tactile sensitivity, and helps reduce hand fatigue and the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome
- Durability:
- Instrument tips are made from cryogenically treated 440A surgical stainless steel, which makes them harder, sharper, and tougher
- This treatment allows them to hold their edge longer than many competitors
- Manufacturing:
- The instrument is handcrafted in the USA
