Dental Explorer – Pointed Probes Available in Hollow Handle Ø 8mm, Ø 9.5mm Solid Handle Ø 6mm Williams – NES-1404

Fig. 23
When pocket mapping demands both reach and clarity, the NES-1404 steps in as a focused solution. This Fig. 23 Williams-style pointed probe carries the classic discontinuous millimeter scale (1-2-3-5-7-8-9-10) that many clinicians prefer because the missing 4 mm and 6 mm marks reduce visual clutter and speed reading under chairside lighting. The slender, tapered tip slides into sulci with minimal resistance, giving reliable depth and attachment readings while preserving tissue integrity.
Available with hollow handles in Ø 8 mm or Ø 9.5 mm diameters or a solid Ø 6 mm option, the instrument balances light weight against secure control. Surgical-grade stainless steel construction stands up to repeated autoclaving without loss of graduation sharpness or tip geometry. Whether charting a new patient or tracking therapy response, this tool supports consistent data collection.
It functions as a practical diagnostic instrument that fits seamlessly into everyday periodontal trays at Next Edge Surgical LLC. Practices looking for a single-ended probe that prioritizes readability and tactile feedback will find the NES-1404 a dependable daily performer.
