The Endodontic Explorer DG16/23 – 3EZ is a double-ended instrument that combines two distinct working-end patterns for endodontic and diagnostic examination. The sharply angled DG16 end is designed for locating root canal orifices and exploring pulp-chamber anatomy, while the #23 Shepherd’s Hook end supports caries detection and examination of pits and fissures.
This combination allows clinicians to move between canal-orifice exploration and general tooth-surface assessment without changing instruments. The lightweight 3EZ handle features a textured grip and a balanced 6 in (15.3 cm) overall length for precise tactile feedback and controlled maneuverability during anterior and posterior procedures.
The DG16/23 pattern brings two commonly used working ends together in one streamlined instrument. The DG16 tip provides focused access to the pulp chamber floor and canal entrances, while the #23 end adds a familiar diagnostic profile for examining pits, fissures, and suspicious surface areas.
