Endodontic Instruments:
A double-ended explorer is a versatile dental instrument employed for the assessment of various oral conditions. Resembling a Gracey 11-12 in shape, it is particularly useful for detecting caries (decay) and calculus, exploring pocket characteristics, assessing furcations, and inspecting restorations. Its angled design is excellent for examining root surfaces post-root planning, as well as for general caries detection, making it a valuable tool for comprehensive dental examinations and treatments.
