Michigan O Probe

Michigan O Periodontal Probe Dental Instrument is a professional periodontal diagnostic instrument developed for dentists, periodontists, dental hygienists, and dental students who require precise periodontal measurements during routine examinations, preventive care procedures, and periodontal therapy. The instrument is specifically engineered to evaluate periodontal tissue health by measuring gingival sulcus and periodontal pocket depths, assessing gingival recession, and monitoring changes in clinical attachment levels. The Michigan O Probe features a slender, calibrated working tip with clearly defined measurement markings at 3 mm, 6 mm, and 8 mm . This simple and easy-to-read calibration system enables clinicians to perform efficient periodontal assessments and record findings accurately. The fine working tip provides excellent tactile sensitivity, allowing clinicians to detect subgingival calculus, bleeding points, tissue irregularities, and periodontal pocket depths with confidence. The smooth, rounded tip design helps minimize patient discomfort and reduces the risk of soft tissue trauma during probing procedures. Its lightweight, balanced construction enhances maneuverability and supports precise measurements throughout the oral cavity, including posterior and difficult-to-access areas. The ergonomic handle design promotes comfortable hand positioning and helps reduce operator fatigue during repetitive periodontal examinations. Smooth transitions between the handle and working end contribute to improved control and workflow efficiency. Common clinical applications include: Periodontal Pocket Measurement Gingival Health Assessment Clinical Attachment Level Evaluation Detection of Bleeding on Probing Subgingival Calculus Detection Periodontal Disease Diagnosis Periodontal Monitoring Periodontal Charting Preventive Dental Examinations General Periodontal Procedures Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, Michigan O Periodontal Probe Dental Instrument offers exceptional corrosion resistance, structural integrity, and long-term durability.
