The Explorer Probe EXP23/CP12 – (3-6-9-12), 6EZ is a double-ended diagnostic instrument that combines a #23 explorer with a CP-12 periodontal probe. The #23 working end supports tactile examination of pits, fissures, tooth surfaces, deposits, and restoration margins, while the CP-12 end provides 3-6-9-12 mm reference points for periodontal screening, pocket-depth assessment, and documentation.
The double-ended design helps clinicians move between tactile surface evaluation and periodontal measurement without changing instruments. The large-diameter 6EZ handle features deep knurling for a fuller grip surface and stable hand positioning. With a 6.2 in (15.7 cm) overall length, this configuration offers a compact, balanced setup for routine diagnostic and hygiene workflows.
The #23/CP-12 combination pairs tactile exploration with an evenly spaced 3-6-9-12 mm periodontal reference pattern. The fuller 6EZ handle supports stable control while the double-ended format keeps common diagnostic and probing tasks on one instrument.
