The new Florida Probe System from Clark Dental is a unique, computerised probing station for periodontal examinations which is rapidly establishing itself as the diagnostic instrument of choice in many practices.

The Florida Probe System exploits the power of a PC to create a probing unit enabling constant force, standardised measurements and multi-lingual voice call-outs. A sole operator can complete a comprehensive examination in less than 12 minutes, and then present the patient with a printed report to take home with full details of his or her periodontal disease.

Patients are engaged with their own diagnoses, and the system is proving to be a persuasive educational tool with the potential to dramatically increase treatment acceptance rates.
