Endodontic Explorer DG 23/6 565/3

Medesy Endodontic Explorer DG 23/6

565/3

The Endodontic Explorer DG 23/6 565/3 is a double-ended explorer which has a sharp tip and is used to extend the tactile sensation of the instrument and identify openings in the root canal. 

Main Features

• Tip Configuration: Combines a standard DG 6 root canal explorer tip

          on one end with a No. 23 Shepherd’s hook explorer tip on the other end.

• Use Case: Ideal for general root canal orifice detection combined with the specific geometry of the No. 23 explorer (Shepherd’s Hook) which is used for caries detection.

Specific Applications of the Tips

DG 6 – The DG 6 is designed with a long, slender shang anda straight, fine-angled terminal point.

• Locating Canal Orifices:  Its primary role is to trace developmental grooves along the pulpal floor to locate the entryways of root canals, especially in posterior teeth where visibility is limited.
• Exploring Calcified Canals: The micro-tip is rigid and sharp enough to probe, pierce, or safely clear away light calcifications or tertiary dentin blocking a canal entrance.
• Enhanced Visibility: The extended, specific angulation of the shank is geometrically engineered to keep the practitioner's fingers and the thick part of the instrument handle outside the direct line of sight. This maximizes visibility under dental mirrors, loupes, or surgical microscopes.

DG 23 – The DG 23 end features a classic, smooth, semi-circular curved hook shape that tapers into a sharp point.

• Caries Detection: It is used with a controlled pull stroke to check for decay (softened enamel or dentin) within occlusal pits, fissures, and cervical grooves.
• Evaluating Restoration Margins: This hook is perfect for verifying the integrity of existing restorations, detecting open margins, subgingival ledges, or gaps between a filling/crown and the natural tooth structure.
• Tactile Debridement and Calculus Detection: The curved profile easily glides across subgingival root surfaces, effectively transmitting vibrations back to the operator’s fingers to identify hidden calculus deposits or cement remnants

Primary Functions

• Locating Canal Orifices: Tracing developmental grooves along the pulpal floor to pinpoint hidden or hard-to-find root canal openings.
• Probing Calcified Openings: Piercing or clearing away light calcifications, pulp stones, and tertiary dentin blocking the entrance of a canal.
• Coronal Caries Detection: Using the hook tip to check for enamel softness or decay within occlusal pits, fissures, and grooves.
• Evaluating Restoration Integrity: Detecting gaps, marginal leakage, subgingival ledges, or overhangs around existing fillings and crowns.
• Subgingival Exploration: Feeling for hidden calculus deposits or cement remnants along the root surface.
• Maintaining Line of Sight: Keeping the clinician's hand out of the field of view, maximizing visibility when working under dental loupes or surgical microscopes.
