The periodontal probe is a narrow rounded or flat, blunt-ended, graduated instrument. Due to its blunt end, it can be inserted into the [[Gingiva|gingival]] sulcus without causing trauma.

The periodontal probe is used to:
*Measure periodontal probing depth
*Determine degree of gingival inflammation by gentle probing
*Measure gingival attachment loss (recession)
*Evaluate furcation lesions
*Evaluate extent of tooth mobility

The markings are either engraved rings or colour coded bands. A screening probe for example has 3 or 4mm banded block markings whilst a Williams periodontal probe is more accurate with mm markings. Before using the probe, the operator should ensure that they know what the marking represent by comparing it do a ruler.
