PROBE, PERIODONTAL

Definition

A hand-held dental instrument used to measure the depth of a periodontal pocket around a tooth in order to establish the state of health of the periodontium and to monitor the progress of disease. It typically has a very thin, angled or curved tip that has a blunt point at the distal end and a handle at the proximal end. The tip will have scaled markings inscribed into it to denote measurements, e.g., millimetres (mm) that assist the dentist to gauge the depth of the periodontal pocket. The dentist will insert this tip into the pocket and read the depth from the scale. It is usually a one-piece instrument made of high-grade stainless steel.

Specifications

Graduated end: from 1 to 10 mm

Instructions for use

The instruments are delivered “non-sterile”.

They mustbe used by trained, qualified personnel who respect the recommendations given in the instructions for use.

Maintenance

General recommendations

  • It is recommended to reprocess instruments as soon as possible after use
  • Prohibit the use of sodium hypochlorite to avoid corrosion pitting on instruments
  • For all metal appliances, it is recommended to use anti-corrosion cleaning and disinfection agents.
  • Do not use fixing products or hot water (> 40°C) which will cause the proteins to fix and influence the cleaning result.
  • Follow the instructions and respect the concentrations and immersion times given by the manufacturer (excessive concentration can lead to corrosion or other defects on the devices)
  • Perform a visual inspection to verify the cleanliness and integrity of the instruments. If necessary, repeat the reprocessing process until the instrument is visibly clean.
  • It is very important to check all surgical instruments before use for visible wear or damage.

Due to the design of the product and the materials used, no limits on the maximum number of processing cycles achievable can be specified. The lifespan of medical devices is determined by their function and careful handling.
