DIAGNOdent

KaVo Dental proudly introduces the new periodontal probe for the DIAGNOdent Classic and pen.

The new periodontal probe, available for both the DIAGNOdent Classic and pen versions, detects subgingival calculus for the treatment of periodontal disease. The probe uses laser fluorescence of subgingival calculus to determine quantification of calculus left behind by standard root planing and scaling. Because calculus fluoresces differently than healthy tissue, the device senses the difference and sends a signal to the numerical display and also presents an audible signal, indicating calculus has been identified. The periodontal probe can detect calculus concrements in periodontal pockets up to 9 mm deep.
