DETAILS AND CARE
The CP15 UNC (University of North Carolina) periodontal probe is a single-ended probe with a slim, straight tip on an angled shank, marked at every millimetre up to 15mm, with black bands at 4 to 5, 9 to 10 and 14 to 15mm for quick orientation. It is fitted with a wide, lightweight moulded silicone handle; the other end of the handle is a plain steel rod with no working tip.
- Marked at every millimetre to 15mm, with black bands at 4 to 5, 9 to 10 and 14 to 15mm
- Slim, straight tip on an angled shank for reading pocket depth around each tooth
- Wide, lightweight silicone handle for a comfortable grip
- Hardened Japanese-standard J2 stainless steel working end, autoclavable
FAQs
What is a CP15 UNC probe used for?
It measures periodontal pocket depth and, combined with the position of the gingival margin relative to the cemento-enamel junction, clinical attachment level. It is also used to check for bleeding on probing during a full periodontal examination and charting.
What do the markings on a UNC-15 probe mean?
The tip is marked at every millimetre from 1 to 15mm, so each reading can be taken to the nearest millimetre. The black bands at 4 to 5, 9 to 10 and 14 to 15mm make it easy to see at a glance where 5, 10 and 15mm fall.
How is this different from the UNC-15/6 silicone probe?
Both carry the same UNC-15 markings. This CP15 is single-ended, with one probe tip. The UNC-15/6 silicone probe is double-ended, with a UNC-15 probe on one end and a fine, unmarked pointed explorer tip on the other, so you can probe and explore with one instrument.
Why choose a silicone handle?
A moulded silicone handle is wider and lighter than a solid steel one, which many clinicians find more comfortable over a long session.
What material is this instrument made from?
The working end is hardened Japanese-standard J2 stainless steel, set into a moulded silicone handle. Both are fully autoclavable.
Handle colour: choose Blue, Black or Pink. All are the same instrument; only the handle colour differs.
Part of our probe range alongside the CP-12 silicone handle probe and the double-ended CPITN-C / UNC-15 probe.
