ODU 11/12 After Explorer, Extended Reach

ODU 11/12 After Explorer is a double-ended diagnostic instrument built for pockets deeper than 5 mm, modified from the standard Old Dominion University 11/12 explorer with a terminal shank 3 mm longer to reach past the crown and tissue that interfere with the standard length. Like the standard ODU 11/12, each end carries a fine, flexible, curved tip used to detect subgingival calculus, root surface irregularities, and restoration overhangs by tactile feel. The extended reach makes it the version selected for advanced periodontal therapy rather than routine screening. Medical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable. Clinicians who regularly treat moderate to severe periodontitis often keep both the standard and After versions on hand so the correct reach is always available chairside.
