The #23 end handles routine occlusal and margin checking, while the balanced TU17 tip is shaped for comfortable subgingival access where calculus deposits and root surface irregularities need to be felt rather than seen. This pairing lets one instrument cover both a general exam and a periodontal tactile check. Double-ended, medical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable. This combination is a common choice for periodontal recall appointments where both a general caries check and a subgingival tactile check are needed in the same visit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Surgiworld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49554708070555,"sku":"EX231B","price":44.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0422\/9981\/8139\/files\/EX231B_1.jpg?v=1789657483","url":"https:\/\/www.d2dhealthco.com\/products\/23-tu17-explorer-for-caries-and-subgingival-calculus","provider":"D2D HealthCo.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
