- Diagnostic color-coded dental instrument used for quick screenings and complete periodontal examinations
Applications
- Periodontal screenings and full examinations:
- The probe's color-coded measurements make it ideal for both quick checks and more detailed, comprehensive exams of gum health
- Assessing pocket depths:
- It measures the depth of the periodontal sulcus, the space between the tooth and the gum, to identify the presence of periodontal disease
- Monitoring gum health:
- The clear, dual-color marking system helps professionals easily track changes in a patient's gum health over time
- Evaluating implant sites:
- The probe is safe and gentle enough to be used for periodontal assessments around dental implants
- Patient education:
- The visual color-coding can be used to help patients understand and visualize their gum health, improving compliance with treatment plans
Features
- Single-ended and color-coded:
- The probe has a single working end with green and red color-coded bands at 3-6-9-12mm for quick and clear readings
- Green band:
- A 3mm green band indicates a healthy periodontal sulcus
- Red markings:
- Any measurements in the red-marked area, specifically at 6, 9, and 12 mm, can indicate the presence of periodontal disease and necessitate a more in-depth exam.
- Patient comfort design:
- The probe is designed to be slightly flexible, which makes examinations more comfortable for the patient
- Safe for implants:
- The probe's polymer material is non-damaging to implant surfaces
- Intra-oral camera visibility:
- The markings are specifically designed to be easily visible and captured with intra-oral cameras for patient records and education
- Autoclavable:
- The probe is made from high-quality stainless steel and can be repeatedly sterilized in an autoclave without degrading
