The D5 Explorer (also known as the 17/23 Explorer) is a double-ended diagnostic instrument combining a #17 end for subgingival calculus detection with a #23 Shepherd’s Hook end for caries detection. This pairing gives clinicians two complementary working ends in one instrument, well suited to exploring concretions in interproximal, oral, and facial areas within deep gingival pockets of molars and premolars.
Crafted from surgical grade stainless steel, both tips remain thin and flexible without becoming brittle, offering the resilience needed for repeated clinical use while staying responsive enough for precise tactile feedback.
