About this category
Why dentists choose ErgoDenta for Explorer & Probes
Explorer & Probe combination instruments give you a tactile caries explorer on one end and a calibrated periodontal probe on the other — a complete diagnostic pickup in a single instrument. Common pairings include Explorer 23 with CP-2, CP-2B, CP-12, CP-15, CP-18 and WHO 11.5mm ball-end probes, plus Explorer 8 / 9 / Holst with the same probe set. Available in our ErgoDenta, ErgoLite, and ErgoLite X handle ranges. Balanced grip, mirror-polished tips, and laser-marked probe graduations that survive repeated sterilization.
Frequently asked about Diagnostics
How do I choose a mouth mirror size?
For most adult work, a #4 (22mm) front-surface mirror is the standard. #5 (24mm) is preferred for retraction and for working in posterior sextants. Pediatric and surgical mirrors run smaller (#2-3).
What is a front-surface mirror, and why does it matter?
A front-surface mirror has the reflective coating on the front of the glass — eliminating the "double image" you get from a standard back-surface mirror. Essential for accurate diagnosis at higher magnification (loupes, microscope).
Which probe should I use for periodontal charting — UNC-15, Williams, or WHO?
UNC-15 is the universal choice for full-mouth charting (1mm increments to 15mm). Williams probes use 1-2-3-5-7-8-9-10mm grading. WHO probes have a ball tip for screening (BPE/PSR).
Are ErgoDenta probes compatible with autoclaves?
Yes — every ErgoDenta diagnostic instrument is fully autoclavable at 134°C, follows EU MDR reprocessing guidance, and ships with an IFU. See our reprocessing guide at /care.
