The HiTeck Medical Instruments DG 16/23 Explorer is a professional-grade dental instrument meticulously engineered to provide superior tactile sensitivity and exceptional precision during a comprehensive intraoral examination.

This product, a cornerstone of a streamlined and exceptionally effective clinical workflow, is expertly crafted to ensure its durability and resistance to corrosion even after repeated sterilization. An Explorer is a vital diagnostic tool for a variety of tasks, including detecting surface irregularities, assessing the margins of restorations, and locating subgingival calculus. The DG 16/23 designation refers to two distinct working ends on a single instrument, a classic and highly versatile pattern.
The 16 end features a long, curved, sickle-shaped tip, which is ideal for accessing interproximal areas (between teeth) and for exploring the facial and lingual surfaces of anterior teeth. The 23 end, commonly known as a Shepherd's Hook, has a shorter, sharply angled tip that is perfect for navigating the occlusal (biting) surfaces of posterior teeth, as well as checking the margins of restorations. This dual-ended design provides a significant advantage, allowing the clinician to perform a thorough examination without the need to switch instruments.
The fine, hand-honed tips provide unparalleled tactile feedback, allowing the clinician to detect even the smallest irregularities in the tooth structure. The ergonomic handle has a precise diameter of approximately 8 mm and is designed to reduce hand fatigue and provide superior tactile feedback. With an overall length of approximately 170 mm, this instrument offers the ideal balance and reach for a wide range of clinical applications.
