Rigid Dental Probes

Rigid Dental Probes feature single-ended designs with engraved millimeter markings at 3-6-9-12mm intervals for periodontal pocket depth assessment. Constructed from non-magnetic surgical-grade stainless steel, this five-piece Single End Probe Ridged Handle 5 pcs set includes sharp explorers with shepherd’s hook configurations and straight tip designs measuring 0.4-0.5mm in diameter. The ridged handle features deep cross-hatched knurling that prevents rotation during examination procedures. Each instrument measures approximately 140mm in total length and weighs 17 grams.

The rigid construction provides superior tactile sensitivity compared to flexible probes, allowing clinicians to detect subtle surface irregularities and calculus deposits. Sharp explorer tips penetrate tight interproximal spaces between posterior teeth where standard examination tools cannot reach effectively. Dental Probe Rigid Single Ended Set instruments maintain dimensional stability through repeated autoclave sterilization cycles at temperatures up to 134 degrees Celsius without tip dulling or handle degradation. The engraved markings resist wear and remain legible through thousands of clinical applications.

General dentists and dental hygienists use Rigid Dental Probes during comprehensive oral examinations to detect incipient carious lesions on mesial and distal tooth surfaces. The sharp explorer tip engages enamel defects, providing tactile feedback that indicates demineralization before radiographic changes appear. Clinicians apply controlled pressure while moving the tip across occlusal grooves, buccal pits, and interproximal contacts to identify sticky areas that suggest early decay. Periodontists employ the marked probes to measure sulcular depth at six sites per tooth during periodontal charting sessions.

Leader Surgical manufactures these instruments with dimensional controls that verify tip sharpness, marking accuracy, and handle ergonomics before distribution. Their quality standards ensure consistent tactile feedback and measurement reliability across thousands of diagnostic procedures in general dental practices where early caries detection and periodontal assessment determine treatment planning decisions.

What is the purpose of this dental probe set?
The probes are primary diagnostic tools used for detecting dental caries (cavities), examining tooth surfaces for irregularities, checking the margins of restorations, and identifying subgingival calculus.
