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: Millimeter markings for accurate measurement of pocket depth and recession.

  • Blunt, Rounded End: Designed for atraumatic insertion into the gingival sulcus.

  • Standardized Markings: Common patterns include Williams, UNC-15, or Marquis for consistent clinical assessment.

  • Slender Design: Allows easy access to all tooth surfaces, even in tight embrasures.

  • Durable Construction: Made from high-grade stainless steel for longevity and easy sterilization.

  • Essential for Diagnosis: The primary tool for periodontal screening, charting, and monitoring disease activity.
