The Explorer EXD 11/12AF – 6EZ is a double-ended After Five dental explorer designed for detecting calculus in deep periodontal pockets, particularly along posterior proximal surfaces. Its fine, curved working ends closely follow root contours to help clinicians identify residual deposits and evaluate surface smoothness after scaling and root planing.
Compared with the standard ODU 11/12 pattern, the After Five design extends the terminal shank by 3 mm for improved access into deeper subgingival areas. The large-diameter 6EZ handle features deep knurling for a secure grip and stable instrument control, while the 6.9 in (17.5 cm) overall length provides balanced reach during detailed periodontal examination.
The 11/12 After Five pattern combines the familiar root adaptation of an ODU 11/12 explorer with additional terminal-shank reach. This makes it especially useful when deep posterior and proximal pockets require precise access without sacrificing the tactile sensitivity needed to detect residual calculus.
Standard vs. After Five Reach
Choose 1018E – Explorer ODU 11/12 – 6EZ for the standard ODU 11/12 working-end design for posterior calculus detection and root-surface evaluation.
Choose 1019E – Explorer EXD 11/12AF – 6EZ for an After Five design with terminal shanks extended by 3 mm for improved access into deeper periodontal pockets.
KEY FEATURES
- Double-ended 11/12 After Five pattern – Provides complementary working ends for periodontal examination
