Perio Probe - safe and reliable Perio prophylaxis This principle has been used for years. It is the same principle that allows selective plaque removal with KaVo's KEY laser feedback system. Similar to caries, plaque contains fluorescent substances that DIAGNOdent detects - this technology is only available from KaVo. The Perio probe for the caries detection aid DIAGNOdent allows you to track down plaque more thoroughly than conventional explorers and also allows for gentler cleaning because, now, only one cleaning session needs to be performed at the actual plaque site. This saves you time. Perio Probe - safe and reliable Perio prophylaxis This principle has been used for years.

Features Motivate patient prior to instrumentation Check residual plaque to verify successful root cleaning Use for recalls Plaque is detected down into the deepest pockets Reliable, regardless of blood or saliva Painless laser fluorescence detection Audio-digital screen displays visible and acoustic findings Benefits for your practice Patient compliance: because the patient is made aware of necessary treatment Saves time because unnecessary over-treatments are eliminated Reliable plaque detection: regular recalls; lucrative private work possible Reputation as a trendsetter: you will be recommended as somebody who works with impressive state-of-the-art dental laser diagnostics Features Motivate patient prior to instrumentation Check residual plaque to verify successful root cleaning Use for recalls Plaque is detected down into the deepest pockets Reliable, regardless of blood or saliva Painless laser fluorescence detection Audio-digital screen displays visible and acoustic findings Display > 40: Plaque in gingival pockets 5 – 40: Very small plaque sites or plaque removed by the probe tip< 5: Clean gingival pockets Confirmable The postoperative bleeding index improves and the pocket depth is noticeably reduced. Results of the clinical study by Prof. Frentzen of Bonn University have proven this. Residual plaque detection More plaque was found with DIAGNOdent than with a traditional periodontal explorer (n = 3174 detection surfaces*). The findings various practitioners made with DIAGNOdent were more consistent. Bleeding in the periodontal pocket before and 3 months after root cleaning Patients examined with DIAGNOdent had a greater reduction in bleeding index (BOP[s1]) (n = 3174 detection surfaces*). Probing the pocket depth before and 3 months after root cleaning Patients examined with DIAGNOdent showed a greater drop in the number of deep pockets (>4 mm, n = 3174 detection surfaces*). Summary A well targeted and thorough cleaning of pockets can be achieved using DIAGNOdent. The audible and visible DIAGNOdent finding makes the process transparent for the patient. This leads to better acceptance. Objective monitoring with DIAGNOdent sheds light on the patient's therapeutic progress.
