Dental Periodontal Probe CP15 Color Coaded-Marking Single Ended

Dental Periodontal Probe CP15, to measure the depth of periodontal pockets around a tooth and assess the health of the periodontium. It features a thin, tapered, and calibrated tip with markings that allow for accurate measurement in millimeters.

Uses:

1. Measuring Pocket Depths: To determine the depth of periodontal pockets for diagnosing periodontal diseases.
2. Assessing Gum Health: Helps in identifying areas of gum inflammation or recession.
3. Monitoring Treatment Progress: Used to track the effectiveness of periodontal treatments over time.
4. Detecting Calculus and Plaque: Can help in identifying subgingival calculus and plaque deposits.
5. Charting: Essential for recording periodontal pocket depths in patient records.

Key Features:

1. Calibrated Markings: Clearly marked millimeter measurements for precise depth readings.
2. Thin and Tapered Tip: Allows for easy insertion into the gingival sulcus or periodontal pocket.
3. Ergonomic Handle: Designed for comfort and control during use.
4. Durable Material: Made from high-quality stainless steel to ensure longevity and resistance to corrosion.
5. Sterilizable: You can autoclave it for repeated use without compromising accuracy or integrity.

FAQs:

1. What do the markings on the CP15 Dental Periodontal Probe represent?
   • The markings on the CP15 periodontal probe represent millimeter increments, typically with markings at 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 mm to help measure pocket depths accurately.
2. How do I properly use the CP15 periodontal probe?
   • To use the CP15 probe, gently insert the tip into the gingival sulcus or pocket, parallel to the long axis of the tooth, and measure the depth at various points around the tooth, typically six sites per tooth.
3. Can the CP15 probe be used to detect other dental issues?
   • Yes, the CP15 probe can detect subgingival calculus, assess gum recession, and monitor changes in pocket depths over time
4. How should the CP15 probe be sterilized?
   • Sterilize the CP15 periodontal probe in an autoclave according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it remains contaminant-free and preserves its accuracy and durability.
5. What is the significance of measuring periodontal pocket depths?
   • Measuring periodontal pocket depths is crucial for diagnosing periodontal diseases, planning treatments, and monitoring.
