Elite CP-12 Probe Single End (3-6-9-12mm)

Purpose: A CP12 probe is specifically designed to measure the depth of gum pockets around teeth. This helps in diagnosing gum diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis.

Design: It has markings in millimeters along its tip, which allow the dentist or hygienist to measure the depth of the pocket formed between the gum and the tooth. These pockets are indicators of gum health.

Usage: During a dental examination or periodontal evaluation, the CP12 probe is gently inserted into the space between the gum and the tooth, and the depth of the pocket is recorded. Healthy gums typically have shallow pockets, while deeper pockets can indicate gum disease.
