What is it indicated for?

The Perio Control IT is used during periodontal examination to measure gingival pocket depth. The pocket depth is displayed on the electronics unit and can be entered in an external computer system, either a PC or a Psion Series 3C. Also, the eventual occurrence of bleeding on probing can be registered, as well as the presence of supra-gingival plaque.

The Perio Control IT is used during periodontal examination to measure gingival pocket depth. The pocket depth is displayed on the electronics unit and can be entered in an external computer system, either a PC or a Psion Series 3C.

Also, the eventual occurrence of bleeding on probing can be registered, as well as the presence of supra-gingival plaque. This is judged visually and registered by pressing one of the buttons on the "Perio Control II"™ handpiece.

The pocket depth is measured by entering the probe tip into the gingival pocket and forcing the filament-of the probe up into the sleeve until the sleeve is at a specific reference point. In this position one of the buttons on the "Perio Control II™" handpiece is pressed. The pocket depth is now displayed on the electronics unit.

The intended use of the "Perio Control II™" device is to screen.patients and to track disease progression in the target population of patients who are suspected of having or already have periodontal disease. Both pediatric and adult patients may be tested.
