The active part of these instruments can be simple or of
double extreme; the latter are the most advisable. They present
a sharp tip that helps us discover locations of
cavitated caries and to determine the state of softening
of dental tissue.
Use of browsers
The explorer is useful for the correct diagnosis of cavities because
with it we can remove plaque or some kind of element that we ...
can limit the correct vision at the bottom of trenches and furrows in the
dental surface. There is no need to apply much force to
explorer since studies show this will not give us more certainty
about our diagnosis and we can generate injuries about the
dental structure. The amount of pressure on the explorer must
be similar to the one used for filing a nail, without causing pain or
damage. All surfaces of the tooth must be free of plaque or
materials that prevent us from having a correct view.

Concave:
They provide an enhanced image that may appear blurry and
confused, with little brightness and consequently inaccurate.
Its use, for the reasons stated, is not recommended.
Plans:
They allow for clearer and more accurate viewing, providing an image
brighter. These are more commonly used.
