Dental Periodontal Probe
A Dental Periodontal Probe is a fundamental diagnostic instrument used to measure the depth of the gingival sulcus or periodontal pocket surrounding a tooth. This measurement is critical for assessing gum health, detecting periodontal disease, and monitoring treatment progress. The probe has a slender, calibrated tip with millimeter markings (e.g., Williams markings at 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 mm) and a blunt end to avoid tissue trauma. Its precise design allows dental professionals to evaluate attachment loss, inflammation, and bone levels, forming the basis of a comprehensive periodontal examination and charting.
Key Features:
-
Calibrated Tip:Â Millimeter markings for accurate measurement of pocket depth and recession.
-
