Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Fortec's Expros dental instruments — models, probe markings, usage, and care.

Expros are dual-function dental instruments that combine an explorer tip on one end and a probe tip on the other — all in a single handle. This design means clinicians can detect caries and measure periodontal pocket depths without ever switching tools mid-examination. Compared to carrying separate explorers and probes, Expros streamline workflow, reduce tray clutter, and save valuable chair time. Fortec currently offers 5 Expros models, all priced at $15.99 each.
Fortec carries five Expros models, all in stock and priced at $15.99 each:

23/CP-8 Expros — pairs the No. 23 explorer with a CP-8 probe tip.
23/QW Williams Expros — pairs the No. 23 explorer with a Williams probe tip.
23/UNC 12 University of North Carolina Expros — pairs the No. 23 explorer with the UNC-12 probe.
23/0 Michigan Expros — pairs the No. 23 explorer with a Michigan-0 probe tip.
6/Williams Expros — pairs the No. 6 explorer with a Williams probe tip.

Each model is available in healthy stock levels, with units ranging from 34 to 97 per model.
Both models share the same No. 23 explorer tip but differ in their probe markings. The 23/QW Williams Expros features the classic Williams probe with markings at 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 mm — the gold standard for detailed periodontal pocket charting. The 23/UNC 12 Expros uses the University of North Carolina UNC-12 probe, which has markings at every millimetre from 1 to 12 mm, making it ideal for highly precise pocket depth measurements, especially in deep pockets that exceed the Williams probe's standard range.
The 23/CP-8 Expros is the best choice when your practice performs CPITN-style community screening or rapid periodontal assessments rather than full detailed charting. The CP-8 probe is a ball-ended screening probe designed to detect calculus and assess tissue health quickly without the granular millimetre-by-millimetre measurements of the Williams or UNC-12. It pairs perfectly with the No. 23 explorer for a swift but effective combination exam, making it popular in hygiene-focused and public health dental settings.
The 23/0 Michigan Expros combines the No. 23 explorer with the Michigan-O probe, which carries markings at 3, 6, and 8 mm. This simplified marking system makes it a fast and efficient option for general practice pocket screening where quick triage and routine examinations are the priority rather than comprehensive periodontal charting. Its straightforward depth indicators reduce the chance of misreading during busy appointments, making it a reliable everyday choice for general dentists.
Both instruments use the same Williams probe markings (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 mm) on the probe end, but they differ in the explorer tip. The 23/QW Williams features the classic No. 23 shepherd hook explorer, which excels at detecting occlusal and interproximal caries and is one of the most widely used explorer tips in general dentistry. The 6/Williams uses the No. 6 explorer, which has a longer, more curved shank that provides better access to posterior teeth and subgingival surfaces — making it particularly suited to periodontal and complex restorative examinations.
All Fortec Expros are crafted from premium-grade stainless steel with a smooth, polished finish that resists corrosion and allows thorough cleaning after every use. They are fully autoclavable and reusable — the instruments retain their shape, sharpness, and probe markings through repeated sterilization cycles without degradation. The lightweight, balanced handle design maintains a comfortable, non-slip grip even after extended use. Each instrument is individually packaged to preserve hygiene before first use.
Fortec Expros are manufactured to meet CE certification (European conformity) and ISO 9001:2015 quality management standards. These certifications confirm that every instrument is produced under controlled conditions in Fortec's advanced manufacturing facilities, with consistent accuracy and safety checks at every stage. As a Canadian dental instrument manufacturer established in 2001, Fortec's quality commitment extends to thorough testing before any instrument leaves the facility, ensuring reliable performance from the very first use.
All five Expros models are uniformly priced at $15.99 each — making them an affordable dual-function alternative to purchasing separate explorers and probes. Fortec offers free Canada-wide shipping on all orders over $195 before taxes, shipping from their Mississauga, Ontario warehouse (1011 Hualtain Court, Unit 14, L4W 1W1) to dental clinics, hygiene schools, and dental students from coast to coast. For full shipping details, visit the Shipping Policy page.
Rinse Expros instruments with clean water immediately after each use to prevent debris and biofilm buildup on both the explorer and probe tips. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents or bleach-based solutions, which can cause surface pitting on stainless steel over time. Inspect the explorer tip regularly — a blunted or distorted tip reduces tactile sensitivity and should be replaced. Similarly, check that probe markings remain legible after prolonged use; faded markings compromise measurement accuracy. For detailed step-by-step care protocols, refer to Fortec's Instruments Care and Maintenance Care guides.
