Abstract:

Treatment and diagnosis of periodontal disease should be based on the correct periodontal examination，and the periodontal probing is one of the most important periodontal examination. The periodontal probing not only reveals bleeding on probing，periodontal pocket depth，and periodontal attachment level，but also shows subgingival calculus and furcation involvement. This article attempts to make a brief  summary on the development of the periodontal probing technique and its clinical significance，in order for it to play a greater role in periodontal clinical diagnosis and therapy.

Key words: periodontal disease, periodontal probing, periodontal probe, calculus probe, furcation probe, Florida probe

摘要：

牙周病的正确诊断和治疗依赖规范化的牙周检查，在诸多的牙周检查中牙周探诊是最重要的检查方法之一。牙周探诊不仅可以探测牙龈出血、牙周袋深度、牙周附着水平，还可以探查袋内是否有牙石、是否出现根分叉病变等情况。文章就目前牙周探针及探诊技术的进展及临床应用做一介绍，以期牙周探诊技术在临床诊疗中发挥更大的作用。
