Understanding periodontal probing
Method recap — does not appear on the printed status.
Distance between the top of the marginal gingiva and the bottom of the sulcus, measured with a graduated probe. Reflects the extent of the gingival sulcus.
Distance between the cemento-enamel junction and the top of the gingiva. A site with recession and shallow depth can still have significant attachment loss.
Bleeding within 15 seconds of probing indicates active inflammation. Above 10% of sites, the risk of disease progression increases.
Presence of visible bacterial biofilm at the gumline. A high rate points toward reinforcing hygiene before any therapeutic decision.
6 probed sites per tooth
- MV / MPMesio-buccal / mesio-palatal (or lingual)
- V / PMid-buccal / palatal (or lingual)
- DV / DPDisto-buccal / disto-palatal (or lingual)
Clinical color code (depth)
- 1–3 mm — Healthy sulcus
- 4–5 mm — Moderate pocket
- ≥ 6 mm — Severe pocket
Probing order (voice dictation included)
Same logic mirrored for the lower arch (48 → 38 then 38 → 48). This continuous sweep limits movement around the patient and is the order automatically followed by voice dictation.
