The UNC-15 end is used for full periodontal charting, which UK guidance recommends for the affected sextant after initial therapy where a code 3 is found, and for the whole mouth where a code 4 is found.

The second band from 8.5 to 11.5mm helps when reading deeper pockets. On the UNC-15 end, the tip is marked at every millimetre from 1 to 15mm, so readings can be taken to the nearest millimetre, and the black bands at 4 to 5, 9 to 10 and 14 to 15mm make it easy to see where 5, 10 and 15mm fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow is this different from our UNC-15\/6 and CP15 probes?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll three carry the same UNC-15 markings.
