Double-ended probes for dental diagnostics

Probes from ErgoDenta are diagnostically sensitive stainless steel instruments designed to provide tactile feedback when examining tooth surfaces and fillings. Using the tip, the dentist can detect caries, irregularities, fissures, excess filling material, and any tartar deposits.

Applications for probes

• Cavity Diagnosis: The probe is used to detect soft or sticky areas in enamel and dentin during the early stages of cavity formation, even before visible changes occur.
• Inspection of fillings & restorations: To feel for transitions between the material and the tooth structure to detect microleaks or damage.
• Fissure inspection: Used to examine deep fissures on chewing surfaces.
• Dental calculus detection and surface smoothness: Can detect roughness, margins, and unevenness in polished materials.
