Diagnostic Dental Instruments
Diagnostic dental instruments are used to examine the teeth and gums, detect caries and calculus, and measure periodontal pocket depth. The basic examination set is a mouth mirror, an explorer, a periodontal probe and cotton pliers. Grey Medical makes these in German stainless steel.
Types of Diagnostic Dental Instruments
- Dental mirrors and handles: Give indirect vision, retract the cheek and reflect light.
- Dental explorers: Sharp tips detect caries, calculus and restoration margins.
- Periodontal probes: Marked tips measure pocket depth and attachment loss.
- Expros: Double-ended instruments with an explorer on one end and a probe on the other.
- Dental tweezers and college pliers: Carry cotton rolls, pellets and small items into the mouth.
- Diagnostic sets: Ready-made examination kits such as the first visit dental kit.
How to Choose Diagnostic Dental Instruments
- Choose probe markings (Williams, UNC, CP) that match your charting protocol.
- Select explorer tip shapes for the surfaces you examine.
- Prefer front-surface mirrors for a sharper reflection.
- Confirm the manufacturer’s documentation and certifications, and follow a proper cleaning and sterilization guide.
