Yes. It features a precise 1.0mm tip diameter. This specific design is intentional to avoid penetrating the junctional epithelium, which helps prevent false readings during periodontal examinations.
Is the handle designed for comfortable, long-term use?
It is. The instrument features a serrated knurled handle. This texture provides a superior grip, allowing for maximum control during clinical procedures while significantly reducing muscle and hand fatigue.
Is this instrument made of high-quality, durable materials?
Yes, it is constructed from professional-grade stainless steel. This material is selected for its strength and durability, making it well-suited for the rigorous demands of a busy dental practice.

What are the primary diagnostic uses for this probe?
It is a versatile tool for professional dental diagnostics, specifically designed for:
- Assessing periodontal pocket depths.

- Analyzing configurations of oral anatomy.
Does the probe arrive ready for immediate patient use?
