Design
• Shank– Gracey 11/12 contra angle shank design- provides
for better adaptation to interproximal and curved surfaces.
• Working End– Small, fine tip and rounded back- for easier insertion
into deep and narrow pockets. • Universal Application
– The universal characteristics of the ODU 11/12 explorer make it ideal for exploring the entire dentition with a single instrument.
• Duraspond™– Explorers are made with Duraspond- an alloy that
provides exceptional tactile sensitivity, flexion and durability.
The ODU 11/12 is a double-ended explorer with mirror-image working ends.
