The Explorer/Probe #23/Williams (1-2-3-5-7-8-9-10) – 6EZ is a double-ended diagnostic instrument that combines a fine #23 explorer with a color-coded Williams periodontal probe. The #23 end supports tactile examination of pits, fissures, tooth surfaces, deposits, and restoration margins, while the Williams end provides clearly defined 1-2-3-5-7-8-9-10 mm reference points for periodontal pocket-depth measurement and charting.
Combining exploration and measurement in one instrument helps clinicians move from surface evaluation to periodontal assessment without changing instruments. The large-diameter 6EZ handle features deep knurling for a fuller grip surface and stable instrument control. With a 6.4 in (16.3 cm) overall length, this configuration balances posterior access with substantial hand contact during examinations.
This combination places tactile detection and detailed periodontal measurement on one instrument. The #23 explorer supports surface and margin evaluation, the Williams scale provides multiple reference points through 10 mm, and the fuller 6EZ handle supports stable control during repetitive diagnostic and charting procedures.
