Abstract
A periodontal probe has been developed which utilizes a vernier gauge to permit direct measurement to one-tenth millimeter. This configuration eliminates the need for multiple step measurements using stents or calipers. The probe can be sterilized easily to make measurements during surgical procedures. The probe should prove useful in clinical research, minor tooth movement and patient treatment documentation.
