This image depicts a root canal explorer (Fig. 6/23), a precision endodontic instrument used to locate and examine the orifices of root canals.
The instrument features two distinct working ends: one with a sharp-angled fine tip for canal probing and another with a more curved, hook-like end for tracing difficult or calcified canals.
Its knurled stainless steel handle ensures a secure grip for enhanced control during procedures.
The instrument is vital in the initial phase of root canal treatment, helping clinicians identify canal pathways with accuracy and ease.
