FAQs

What is a WHO probe used for?

It is used for periodontal screening (BPE/CPITN) and general gum health assessment, using its ball tip and colour-coded bands.

Why does the WHO probe have a ball tip?

The rounded ball tip is designed to detect calculus and assess pocket depth without catching or traumatising the gum tissue.

What material is this instrument made from?

The handle is corrosion-resistant AISI 304 stainless steel and the working end is hardened Japanese-standard J2 stainless steel, each chosen for its job: rust-resistant handling and a hard, precise working end that keeps its shape through repeated autoclave cycles.

A standard part of periodontal screening alongside mirrors and explorers.

Manufactured by InstruDental, UK specialists in dental hand instruments.
