23/CP8 Explorer Probe

23/CP8 Explorer Probe is selected for routine exams where a clinician wants both a caries-detection explorer and a periodontal probe on one handle, rather than picking up two separate instruments mid-exam.

The defining feature is the double-ended design, with the #23 Shepherd’s Hook on one end for caries and margin checks, and the CP8 probe scale (3, 6, 8, 11 mm) on the other for pocket depth measurement.

Clinically, this instrument is used for combined caries screening and periodontal charting during general exams and hygiene recall appointments. Double-ended, medical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable.
