Explorer EXP 54, Subgingival and Furcation Tip

Explorer EXP 54 is reached for during periodontal exams when a clinician needs to confirm furcation involvement or check for subgingival root surface irregularities that a standard hook-shaped explorer cannot access at the correct angle.

The tip angulation is the defining feature, shaped specifically to follow the root surface into a furcation entrance and along the cementoenamel junction below the gumline, where it identifies roughness, ledges, and open furcation anatomy by tactile feel.

Clinically, the EXP 54 is used during periodontal charting and recall exams to identify furcation involvement, subgingival calculus, and root surface irregularities that inform periodontal treatment planning. Medical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable.
