Periodontal Probe Cattoni Fig 16/23 is a specialized dental instrument used for measuring the depth of periodontal pockets and assessing the condition of gum tissues. This probe features a combination of two working ends: one for measuring deeper pockets and another for more delicate probing in smaller or tighter areas. The probe has a precise, graduated scale for accurate measurements, making it essential in diagnosing and monitoring periodontal disease. The Fig 16/23 model is designed to assess the severity of gum disease by determining pocket depths and attachment loss.
Uses:
- Measuring Pocket Depths: Determines the depth of periodontal pockets, helping to assess gum health and the presence of periodontal disease.
- Periodontal Disease Diagnosis: Helps in diagnosing conditions like gingivitis, periodontitis, and attachment loss.
- Monitoring Disease Progression: Tracks changes in pocket depths over time to evaluate the success of periodontal treatment.
- Pre-Surgical Assessment: Used before periodontal surgeries to understand the extent of disease and plan appropriate treatment.
- Veterinary Dentistry: Can also be used to assess periodontal health in small animals.
Key Features:
- Dual End Design: One end for deeper pockets and another for finer probing, allowing for versatile use across different depths.
- Graduated Scale: Clear, millimeter markings along the probe for accurate pocket depth measurement.
- Ergonomic Handle: Provides a comfortable, non-slip grip for better control during use.
- Durable Stainless Steel Construction: Corrosion-resistant, ensuring long-lasting durability and easy sterilization.
- Autoclavable: You can sterilize it in an autoclave for hygienic, repeated use.
What is the purpose of the two different ends on the Periodontal Probe Cattoni Fig 16/23?
The two ends measure different pocket depths—one for deeper pockets and one for shallower or tighter areas, making the instrument versatile for comprehensive periodontal assessments.
Insert the probe gently into the periodontal pocket, following the tooth surface. Measure at multiple sites around the tooth to get an accurate reading of the pocket depth, making sure to record the deepest measurement.
How do I care for and maintain the Periodontal Probe Cattoni Fig 16/23?
Rinse the probe immediately after use to remove debris. Autoclave the instrument regularly for sterilization and inspect it periodically for any signs of wear or damage to maintain its accuracy and effectiveness.
