UNC 15 Periodontal Probe Dental Instrument is a professional periodontal diagnostic instrument developed for dentists, periodontists, dental hygienists, implantologists, and dental students who require precise periodontal measurements during routine examinations, periodontal therapy, implant assessments, and surgical procedures.
The instrument is specifically engineered to evaluate periodontal tissue health by measuring gingival sulcus and periodontal pocket depths, assessing gingival recession, determining clinical attachment levels, and monitoring the progression of periodontal disease.
The probe features a slender, rounded working tip with clearly defined millimeter markings from 1 mm to 15 mm using the UNC 15 calibration system. The comprehensive calibration pattern enables clinicians to accurately assess both shallow and deep periodontal pockets while supporting detailed periodontal charting.
High-contrast black markings at designated intervals improve visibility under operatory lighting conditions and facilitate efficient clinical documentation. The extended measurement range is particularly beneficial during advanced periodontal evaluations, implant site assessments, mucogingival examinations, and periodontal surgical procedures.
The fine working tip provides excellent tactile sensitivity, enabling clinicians to detect subgingival calculus, bleeding points, tissue irregularities, and anatomical variations while minimizing patient discomfort and reducing the risk of soft tissue trauma.
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 assessments. Smooth transitions between the handle and working end contribute to improved control and workflow efficiency.
Common clinical applications include:
- Periodontal Pocket Measurement
- Clinical Attachment Level Evaluation
- Gingival Recession Assessment
- Detection of Bleeding on Probing
- Subgingival Calculus Detection
- Periodontal Disease Diagnosis
- Implant Site Evaluation
- Periodontal Surgery Procedures
- Periodontal Charting
- General Periodontal Examinations
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, UNC 15 Periodontal Probe Dental Instrument offers exceptional corrosion resistance, structural integrity, and long-term durability. High-quality construction ensures dependable performance through repeated sterilization cycles and continuous professional use.
Precision manufacturing guarantees accurate calibration markings, smooth surface finishing, and reliable measurement performance. The UNC 15 calibration system supports standardized periodontal assessments and comprehensive clinical documentation.
The satin low-glare finish minimizes reflections under operatory lighting conditions while facilitating efficient cleaning and maintenance. Smooth surfaces contribute to a professional appearance and extended instrument lifespan.
Widely utilized in dental clinics, periodontal practices, implant centers, educational institutions, and oral healthcare facilities, UNC 15 Periodontal Probe Dental Instrument is considered an essential diagnostic tool for advanced periodontal evaluation and treatment planning.
Fully reusable and autoclavable, this instrument is designed to provide dependable long-term performance, precision, and durability in demanding clinical environments.
