Diagnosing Periodontitis with Florida Probes

Periodontitis is a condition characterized by the deterioration of the bone structure and tissues that support and anchor the teeth, namely the degradation of the periodontium.

Inflammations and infections begin to appear at the gum level, sometimes even with pockets of pus, which damage the soft tissue and bone structure. As a result, the teeth start to loosen and eventually fall out.

How can periodontitis be diagnosed by using thr Florida Probe?

Diagnosing periodontitis in our clinic with the Florida Probe system involves using an advanced tool which allows us to create a digital chart of the patient’s periodontal status in just a few minutes.

The Florida Probe system provides a comprehensive clinical record of the patient, including information such as:

  • medical history
  • dental plaque
  • tooth mobility
  • type of dentition
  • gingival recession

For the patient, the diagnosing and monitoring process of periodontitis with the Florida Probe system is straightforward and comfortable, ensuring a higher success rate in treatment.
