The DIAGNOdent Perio probe aids your detection and treatment of periodontal disease.

  • Laser fluorescence of subgingival calculus allows quantification of calculus left behind by standard root planing and scaling. Calculus fluoresceses differently than healthy tissue. The device senses the difference and sends a signal to the display, indicating calculus has been identified.
  • Aids in detecting calculus concrements in periodontal pockets up to 9 mm deep.
  • Aids to detect calculus levels which are quantified acoustically and visually, allowing tracking over time.
  • Hygiene treatments become more effective, prompting the hygienist to continue root planing or scaling to remove missed calculus.
  • Audible and measurable values make more patients aware of their calculus levels, leading to increased patient compliance with the recommended treatment.
  • This technology is only available from KaVo.
