Dental Explorer #23 – Shepherds Hook
The VS Surgico Dental Explorer #23 is the classic shepherds hook probe used to detect caries, calculus, and defective margins by tactile feel. Its sharply pointed, precisely angled tip gives dentists the sensitivity needed for accurate diagnosis.
Product Overview
The #23 shepherds hook features a fine, sharp point bent at the classic hook angle, allowing the tip to trace pits, fissures, and restoration margins with maximum tactile feedback. The slim, balanced handle transmits subtle vibrations that reveal soft spots and catches invisible to the eye.
It is used in every routine examination to check for decay, assess the integrity of fillings and crowns, detect subgingival calculus, and evaluate the adaptation of restorative margins. The sharp point must be maintained, as a dull explorer loses diagnostic sensitivity.
Machined from surgical-grade stainless steel with a finely honed point, each explorer is passivated, ultrasonically cleaned, and inspected for tip sharpness and handle balance before dispatch.
