Diagnostics

Dental diagnostic instruments are the ones on every examination tray: a mouth mirror, an explorer and a periodontal probe. With them a clinician can see indirect surfaces, feel for caries and calculus, and measure pocket depth — the basis of every charting and treatment plan.

This collection also includes basic hemostats, tissue forceps and needle holders that are commonly added to an exam or hygiene setup. Order single instruments or build a set; US shipping is free.

What This Collection Covers

  • Mouth mirrors — front-surface and plane mirror heads and handles
  • Explorers — single and double-ended, including shepherd hook patterns
  • Periodontal probes — UNC, Williams and Goldman-Fox markings
  • Tray basics — Kelly and Crile hemostats, dressing and tissue forceps, needle holders

UNC, Williams or Goldman-Fox?

The difference is the marking. A UNC 15 probe is marked at every millimetre to 15 mm, with bands at 5, 10 and 15 for quick reading. A Williams probe has marks at 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10 mm (4 and 6 left blank). A Goldman-Fox probe has a flat blade with Williams markings. Choose the one your charting protocol uses so readings stay consistent.

How to Choose

Mirrors. Front-surface mirrors give a sharper image with no double reflection; plane mirrors are more scratch-resistant.

Explorers. A shepherd hook (No. 23) for general caries detection; a pigtail or cowhorn for interproximal and subgingival surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What instruments are in a basic dental exam kit?
A mouth mirror, an explorer, a periodontal probe and cotton pliers.

Can diagnostic instruments be autoclaved?
Yes. Stainless steel mirror handles, explorers and probes are steam sterilizable; mirror heads are replaced when the surface scratches.
