The Florida Probe device from Clark Dental combines easily with a PC to create a computerised probing station. A sole operator can complete full examinations in 10-12 minutes, or opt for a 30 minute examination for patient education.

Treatment acceptance rates are boosted by full-colour printed reports, and periodontal charting lets the user compare past and present results to accurately pinpoint deterioration and improvement. Risk of infection and re-infection is calculated, based on specific risk factors.

Able to record missing teeth, recession, pocket depth, bleeding, suppuration, furcation and more, Florida Probe supports early treatment to prevent bone loss and reduce the need for surgery. The voice call-out facility keeps the patient informed.
