The Explorer EXD 5 – 6EZ is a double-ended diagnostic dental explorer designed for tactile examination of caries, calculus, and tooth-surface irregularities. Its standard EXD 5 working-end pattern provides two fine explorer tips for evaluating pits, fissures, margins, and hard-to-access areas during routine dental and periodontal examinations.
The large-diameter 6EZ handle features deep diamond knurling for a secure grip and precise instrument control. At 6.3 in (16 cm) overall, the balanced stainless-steel construction supports tactile responsiveness while offering a fuller handle profile for clinicians who prefer increased grip surface.
Why Clinicians Choose It
This version combines the familiar EXD 5 tip geometry with a larger 6EZ handle. The fuller, deeply textured grip provides additional contact with the hand while preserving the fine tactile feedback required for routine diagnostic examination.
