Periodontal Probe 1 article

Periodontal Probe is a graduated instrument used to measure probing depth, gingival margin position and related periodontal parameters around teeth and implants. The slender tip is inserted gently into the sulcus or pocket at standardized sites so changes in tissue attachment and pocketing can be recorded over time. It is a measurement tool rather than a scaler, and readings are influenced by probing force, inflammation, tip diameter and anatomy, so consistent technique matters when comparing examinations.
