CP-15 UNC Probe for Periodontal Measurement and Charting
The CP-15 UNC Dental Probe is a precision periodontal instrument intended for clinical examination, periodontal measurements, and charting. The UNC-style graduated probe is designed to help dental professionals assess probing depths and record periodontal findings during routine examinations.
Periodontal probing is an important part of comprehensive dental assessment. By measuring the depth of the gingival sulcus or periodontal pocket at appropriate sites around the dentition, clinicians can gather information that contributes to periodontal evaluation and treatment planning.
The CP-15 UNC is particularly suited to practices where periodontal charting and standardized depth measurement form part of routine clinical protocols. Its graduated working end provides a measurement reference that allows clinicians to record findings consistently from one examination site to another.
The instrument can be used during periodontal assessments alongside other diagnostic procedures. It is intended for examination and measurement rather than for removing calculus or debriding periodontal surfaces. This makes it fundamentally different from periodontal scalers and curettes.
The CP-15 UNC designation is an important part of the instrument's identity. “UNC” refers to the University of North Carolina periodontal probe design family, while CP-15 identifies the specific probe configuration. Keeping the full designation visible helps distinguish this instrument from other periodontal probes with different graduation systems.
The pack of three provides multiple matching probes for dental practices, periodontal assessment setups, and routine instrument rotation. Having several identical instruments can also support clinical preparation and normal cleaning and sterilization cycles.
For dental professionals performing periodontal examinations, the CP-15 UNC offers a dedicated instrument for structured probing, measurement, and periodontal charting.
