EXD 3 Pigtail Explorer is reached for whenever a clinician needs to check interproximal contact areas specifically, since the space between teeth is where early caries most often develops undetected on a purely visual exam.
The defining feature is a pair of curved, sharp pigtail tips shaped to enter the contact area and follow the proximal tooth surface down toward the gingival margin, giving the clinician tactile access decay detection depends on in this region.
Clinically, the EXD 3 is used for interproximal caries and calculus detection. Within the EXD-numbered family it is the dedicated interproximal option, chosen over the general-purpose EXD 2 or the fine-tip EXD 1 when the contact area itself is the focus. Double-ended, medical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable.
