Periodontal Probe for DIAGNOdent Classic / pen
Clinical studies show that incorporating the DIAGNOdent into periodontal treatment improves the therapeutic outcome for your patients.
The postoperative bleeding index improves and the pocket depth is noticeably reduced. Results of the clinical study by Prof. Frentzen of Bonn University have proven this.
Conclusion of clincial studies:
- Use of a laser fluorescence as an aid to detect residual calculus is effective in identifying more calculus missed during root planning and scaling. Incorporating DIAGNOdent into periodontal treatment leads to more effective treatment.
- The audible and visible DIAGNOdent finding makes the process transparent for the patient. This leads to better acceptance. Objective monitoring with DIAGNOdent sheds light on the patient’s therapeutic progress.
Aids in detecting residual plaque
More plaque was found with the DIAGNOdent perio probe detection aid than with a traditional periodontal explorer (n = 3174 detection surfaces*). The findings various practitioners made with DIAGNOdent were more consistent.
Bleeding in the periodontal pocket before and 3 months after root cleaning
Patients examined with DIAGNOdent perio probe detection aid had a greater reduction in bleeding index (BOP[s1]) (n = 3174 detection surfaces*).
Deep pockets (<4mm) are reduced with treatment incorporating the DIAGNOdent
Patients examined with DIAGNOdent perio probe detection aid showed a greater drop in the number of deep pockets (>4 mm, n = 3174 detection surfaces*).
