The Explorer/Probe #23/CP-8 (3-6-8-11) – 3EZ is a double-ended diagnostic instrument that combines a fine #23 explorer with a color-coded CP-8 periodontal probe. The #23 end supports tactile examination of pits, fissures, tooth surfaces, deposits, and restoration margins, while the CP-8 end provides distinct 3-6-8-11 mm reference points for periodontal screening, pocket-depth checks, and documentation.
This combination allows clinicians to move from tactile surface evaluation to periodontal assessment without changing instruments. The lightweight 3EZ handle has a textured grip that supports tactile sensitivity and controlled maneuverability. With a 6.2 in (15.8 cm) overall length, this version provides a slim, balanced feel for routine diagnostic and hygiene workflows.
This configuration combines a #23 explorer for tactile examination with the abbreviated 3-6-8-11 mm CP-8 reference pattern for efficient periodontal screening. The lightweight 3EZ handle supports precise fingertip control and easy repositioning during full-mouth examinations.
