An explorer, also known as a probe, is an important dental instrument used for examining teeth, molars, canines, molars, and premolars in both the upper and lower jaw.

The sharp, thin tip of the explorer is designed to precisely inspect tooth surfaces and gums, allowing dentists to detect cavities, tooth decay, or tartar at an early stage.

This instrument is also often used to identify irregularities on the surface of fillings or tooth enamel and to check the edges of restorations, such as amalgam or composite fillings, for leakage.
