{"product_id":"surgiworld-exd-23-6-double-ended-explorer-ex233b","title":"SurgiWorld – EXD 23\/6 Double-Ended Explorer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe EXD 23\/6 Explorer is selected when a clinician wants the standard #23 hook plus a second general-purpose angle on the same handle, rather than a subgingival or endodontic specialty tip. It is used during routine restorative and hygiene exams where checking a tooth from two different tip angles saves time over a single-ended instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe #6 end provides a different curvature and reach than the #23 hook, letting the clinician access surfaces or angles the primary hook does not sit against comfortably, without switching to a second instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClinically, the #23 end is used for pit and fissure caries detection and margin checks, while the #6 end is used for general surface inspection from a second angle, including checking irregularities and rough spots on enamel. SurgiWorld also stocks the #23 hook paired with a TU17 or DG16 tip for clinicians who need a subgingival or endodontic-specific second end instead. Double-ended, medical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul class=\"feature-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEXD 23\/6 Explorer pairs the #23 Shepherd's Hook with a second #6 tip angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e#23 end detects pit and fissure caries and checks restoration margins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e#6 end reaches surfaces at a different angle without repositioning the handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides two working angles for comprehensive surface inspection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral-purpose double-ended option, not a subgingival or endodontic specialty tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-ended design covers more of the exam without switching instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SurgiWorld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67751018594618,"sku":"EX233B","price":44.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/2975\/5194\/files\/EX233B_1.webp?v=1792584728","url":"https:\/\/thedentalsolutions.ca\/products\/surgiworld-exd-23-6-double-ended-explorer-ex233b","provider":"Dental Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
