Front Surface Mouth Mirror (SS) - No. 3
The Front Surface Mouth Mirror No. 3 is a single-ended, plain-stem diagnostic mirror for intraoral indirect vision, illumination of dark regions, and retraction of the cheeks, lips, and tongue. The front-surface reflective layer sits on the anterior face of the glass disc, so the reflected image is free of the ghosted double-image produced by conventional rear-surface mirrors - an important clarity advantage for caries diagnosis and restorative margin checks. A standard threaded shank screws into any ISO-compatible mirror handle, and the No. 3 disc size suits adult intraoral work without feeling oversized in anterior access. Manufactured from stainless steel, this Equate Instruments mirror head is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for standard cassette processing.

Standard Mouth Mirror (SS) - No. 3 (12 pcs)
The Standard Mouth Mirror No. 3 is a single-ended, plain-stem diagnostic mirror for intraoral indirect vision, illumination of dark regions, and retraction of the cheeks, lips, and tongue. The reflective layer sits behind the glass disc in the classic rear-surface configuration, giving the bright, familiar mirror image that most operators learn on. A standard threaded shank screws into any ISO-compatible mirror handle. Supplied as a 12-piece practice-pack, this Equate Instruments mirror head is manufactured from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and full autoclave compatibility. The No. 3 disc size suits adult intraoral work without feeling oversized in anterior access, and the low-profile simple stem keeps the line of sight clear. Supplied non-sterile for standard cassette processing.

Mouth Mirror No. 4 - Rhodium Front Surface, 22 mm, Universal Thread
The Mouth Mirror No. 4 features a 22 mm rhodium-coated front-surface reflective layer that produces a sharp, distortion-free image of tooth and soft-tissue surfaces. The front-surface design eliminates the double image produced by back-silvered glass mirrors, improving indirect vision during restorative, periodontal, endodontic, and pediatric procedures. The 22 mm head is a general-purpose size that suits adult and pediatric intraoral work across exam, restorative, and hygiene appointments. Rhodium coating resists corrosion and tarnish through repeated steam sterilisation cycles, preserving image clarity over hundreds of autoclave runs. Manufactured by Equate Instruments, the mirror head is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for routine in-clinic sterilisation.

Mouth Mirror No. 5 - Rhodium Front Surface, 24 mm, Universal Thread
The Mouth Mirror No. 5 features a 24 mm rhodium-coated front-surface reflective layer that produces a sharp, distortion-free image of tooth and soft-tissue surfaces. The front-surface design eliminates the double image produced by back-silvered glass mirrors, improving indirect vision during restorative, periodontal, endodontic, and implant workflows. The 24 mm head is the most widely used adult intraoral size, wide enough to capture buccal, lingual, and occlusal surfaces in a single view and compact enough to navigate past the cheeks and tongue without stretching the soft tissues. Rhodium coating resists corrosion and tarnish through repeated steam sterilisation cycles. Manufactured by Equate Instruments, the mirror head is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for routine in-clinic sterilisation.

ExPro Explorer 23 / CP-12 Probe - Solid Stainless Handle
The ExPro Explorer 23 / CP-12 Probe is a double-ended diagnostic instrument that combines a shepherd hook Explorer 23 tip at one end with a calibrated CP-12 periodontal probe at the other. The Explorer 23 is used for caries detection on smooth and interproximal surfaces and for contouring composite restorations. The CP-12 probe is marked at 3, 6, 9, and 12 mm for charting pocket depths, recession, and attachment level during a periodontal examination. The instrument is built on a solid stainless steel handle with a knurled grip for balanced tactile control, and the full construction is autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for in-clinic steam sterilisation. It is part of the Equate Instruments diagnostic range.

Explorer 3A - Single-Ended Curved Hook
The Explorer 3A is a single-ended curved dental explorer used to detect carious lesions, assess marginal integrity of restorations, and feel for subgingival calculus on exposed root surfaces. The long, gently curved shepherd-hook tip follows facial, lingual, and interproximal contours without gouging sound enamel. The working end is carried on a hollow stainless-steel handle with blue accent rings and a tapered lower barrel that balances the instrument in pen grip. A titanium nitride-coated tip resists corrosion and preserves a crisp tactile signal. Supplied non-sterile by Equate Instruments and fully autoclavable for standard steam-sterilisation cycles.
