Periodontal Williams Probe, Stainless Steel
A stainless steel periodontal probe with clear measurement markings, used by dental professionals for accurate periodontal pocket assessments.
The Periodontal Williams Probe is a dental instrument used to measure the depth of the gum pocket around each tooth, a core part of assessing periodontal, or gum, health during a routine dental examination or a dedicated periodontal assessment. Its thin, blunt tip is designed to be gently inserted into the space between the tooth and gum without causing damage, while easy to read markings along the shaft let the clinician record the pocket depth accurately at several points around each tooth.
High quality stainless steel construction gives the probe the durability needed for repeated use across many patients while keeping its markings clear and legible over time. The design is intended to support comfort and efficiency during treatment, since a periodontal assessment often involves measuring multiple points around every tooth in the mouth, making a comfortable, easy to read instrument genuinely useful for both the clinician and the patient.
Dentists, dental hygienists and periodontists rely on Williams probes as an essential, routine tool for both initial periodontal screening and ongoing monitoring of gum health. As a reusable instrument, it should be cleaned, disinfected and sterilised between each patient according to the practice's infection control protocol.
