The Explorer EXD 3 – 3EZ is a double-ended Pigtail dental explorer designed for tactile detection of caries, calculus, and tooth-surface irregularities. Its fine, curved EXD 3 working ends provide complementary access for examining pocket characteristics, furcations, restoration margins, and other areas where precise surface evaluation is required.
The lightweight 3EZ handle features a textured grip and a balanced 6.4 in (16.2 cm) overall length for controlled handling during routine dental and periodontal examinations. Its double-ended configuration provides two working approaches while maintaining the tactile responsiveness needed for detailed diagnostic procedures.
Why Clinicians Choose It
The EXD 3 Pigtail pattern provides two fine, curved working ends for tactile examination from complementary angles. The lightweight 3EZ handle keeps the instrument responsive and easy to maneuver for clinicians who prefer a slimmer grip and precise fingertip control.
