Innovative Subgingival Calculus Detector Enhances Precision in Clinical Dentistry

Posted: December 4, 2024
The article discusses the development of a subgingival calculus detector named Sensor probe, utilizing an optical fiber for improved accuracy in calculus detection. The study compared the performance of Sensor probe to a conventional periodontal probe and found that Sensor probe showed enhanced accuracy, especially in deeper periodontal pockets. The use of an optical fiber with a 45° angled end was found to be particularly effective in detecting calculus. This innovation holds promise for more precise and efficient calculus removal in clinical practice, especially in challenging cases.
