Description
The London College Standard Explorer – DPU17 is a diagnostic dental instrument designed for tactile examination of tooth surfaces, detection of caries, and evaluation of restoration margins. It is widely used during routine clinical examinations and preventive assessments.
The instrument features a fine, sharply pointed working tip that allows precise exploration of pits, fissures, and interproximal areas. Its balanced handle design enhances tactile sensitivity, enabling clinicians to detect surface irregularities with accuracy and control.
Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the DPU17 ensures durability, corrosion resistance, and consistent performance under repeated sterilization cycles. It is an essential diagnostic tool in general dental practice.
