The Explorer EXD 1 – 1EZ is a double-ended diagnostic dental explorer designed for tactile examination of caries, calculus, deposits, and tooth-surface irregularities. Its two precisely angled EXD 1 working ends provide complementary access for examining pits, fissures, restoration margins, and other areas where controlled surface evaluation is required.
The lightweight 1EZ handle features a textured grip and an approximately 6.5 in (16.4 cm) overall length for precise maneuverability during routine dental and periodontal examinations. Its slim handle profile helps preserve tactile responsiveness while providing two working-end orientations in one reusable instrument.
Why Clinicians Choose It
The EXD 1 pattern provides two differently angled working ends for efficient tactile examination from multiple approaches. Its lightweight 1EZ handle keeps the instrument slim and responsive, making it a practical option for clinicians who prefer precise fingertip control during routine diagnostic procedures.
