Flexibility: The design allows for easier access to interproximal spaces and other hard-to-reach areas, helping in the detection of caries, calculus, and other dental concerns.
Cavity Detection: Identifying carious lesions and defects on tooth surfaces.
Calculus Detection: Locating and evaluating subgingival and supragingival calculus.
Oral Examination: Performing comprehensive oral assessments in clinical practice.
Explorer #11: Typically used for examining the occlusal surfaces of posterior teeth and the proximal surfaces of anterior teeth.

وصف
The Elite Explorer ODU #11/12 is used in professional dental practice for examining teeth. It is known for its double-ended design, with one end having an Explorer #11 and the other an Explorer #12. This allows for versatility in examining different areas of the mouth. Both ends are designed with fine, thin tips to probe and detect irregularities like cavities or calculus build-up with precision. The curvature and length of the tips help in maneuvering around the teeth, especially in hard-to-reach areas.
