UNC 15 Periodontal Probe

Flexibility and Durability: The flexibility of the probe allows for accurate assessment of the periodontal pockets without causing discomfort or trauma to the gum tissue. Its durability ensures that the probe can withstand repeated use without deforming, maintaining its accuracy over time.
Precise Visual Guide (1 to 15): The clear, precise visual guide helps dental professionals accurately measure the depth of periodontal pockets, which is essential for diagnosing the severity of gum disease and planning appropriate treatment. A consistent and reliable scale ensures accurate measurements, which is vital for proper assessment and ongoing monitoring.
Elimination of Notches: Many periodontal probes have notches that can accumulate bacteria and make the instrument harder to clean. By eliminating notches, the UNC 15 probe is easier to sanitize, improving both hygiene and longevity of the instrument. It also ensures smoother and more comfortable probing for the patient.
Rounded Tip (0.48 mm): A perfectly rounded tip minimizes the risk of trauma when probing, which can cause pain or bleeding in sensitive gum tissue. A smaller, rounded tip ensures that the probe can navigate the periodontal sulcus gently, offering a more comfortable experience for the patient.
Screw-in Tip: The screw-in tip design makes it easy to replace if necessary, which ensures the probe maintains its functionality. This feature also reduces the likelihood of issues such as wear and tear or bending, helping maintain precision.
DMS Handle: The option of a lightweight, ergonomic DMS handle enhances comfort for the dental professional during long procedures. A well-designed handle reduces hand fatigue and provides better control, allowing for more accurate and consistent measurements.
