The Explorer ODU 11/12 – 6EZ 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. The larger-diameter 6EZ handle features deep knurling for a secure, stable grip, while the 6.9 in (17.5 cm) overall length provides balanced reach and control during detailed subgingival examination.
This version combines the root-adapting ODU 11/12 working pattern with a fuller 6EZ handle. The increased grip surface and deep knurling provide stable instrument control, while the fine curved tips maintain the tactile sensitivity needed to locate residual calculus in deep posterior and proximal areas.
