The Explorer ODU 11/12 – 3EZ is a double-ended diagnostic instrument designed for detecting calculus in deep periodontal pockets, particularly along posterior proximal surfaces. Its long, fine ODU 11/12 working ends follow the root surface closely, helping clinicians identify residual deposits and evaluate surface smoothness after scaling and root planing.
The two curved working ends provide complementary access throughout the dentition without requiring an instrument change. A lightweight 3EZ handle with a textured grip supports tactile sensitivity and controlled maneuverability, while the 6.8 in (17.3 cm) overall length provides balanced reach for subgingival examination.
The ODU 11/12 pattern is especially useful when posterior proximal surfaces and deeper pockets require close root-surface adaptation. Its paired working ends provide efficient access from opposing directions, while the lightweight 3EZ handle preserves the subtle tactile feedback needed to locate residual calculus.
Choose Your Handle
Choose 1018 – Explorer ODU 11/12 – 3EZ for a lightweight, slimmer handle profile that supports precise tactile feedback and controlled maneuverability.
Choose 1018E – Explorer ODU 11/12 – 6EZ for the same ODU 11/12 working-end pattern with a larger-diameter, deeply knurled handle.
