A periodontal probe with automated cemento-enamel detection-design and clinical trials

Abstract: An automated periodontal probe has been developed to measure pocket depth and attachment loss in a single measurement under controlled force conditions. A natural anatomic landmark, the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ), is used as a reference for attachment level measurements. The CEJ is detected automatically by immediate digital postprocessing of simultaneous measurements of probe tip acceleration and displacement during probing. Clinical trials in the beagle dog model for naturally occurring periodontitis have… Show more

“…The periodontal probe developed by Jeffcoat et al [17] is an example. It determines pocket depth from the cemento-enamel junction, which better corresponds to the clinically relevant attachment loss than the traditional probes.…”

“…For instance, determination of pocket depth with the new pocket probe [17] was validated in a beagle dog model against the diagnostically more relevant quantity 'true attachment', determined after extraction of the tooth. The use of magnetic resonance imaging to determine disc displacement as a component of the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disorders was validated on cadaver material against histology [18].…”

“…The present study provided information on the extent to which CAL I may be overestimated. The overestimation of CAL I observed here, of 0.5 mm, might be related in the accumulation of well‐known errors inherent in periodontal probing because the indirect method is based on the sum of two recordings (PPD and GR) to obtain the final value (CAL I ). It is believed that this overestimation may be a result of the combination of two measures that are also subject to errors.…”

“…On the other hand, in the presence of GR, although it is still possible to measure the extent of CAL directly (CAL D ) by visualisation of the probe over the reference point, some authors choose to measure it indirectly: the CAL (CAL I ) from the sum of the PPD and GR values. However, from a mathematical standpoint, because both PPD and GR are subject to measurement errors, their combined use to determine the CAL I could lead to the compounding of errors that could interfere with the final CAL value.…”

“…The probe would automatically recognize the transition from enamel to cementum and use it as a landmark for measuring the attachment level. Jeffcoat et al (1991) have described a periodontal probe that analyzes the natural topography of the tooth as a feature for developing an algorithm. Their analysis of the motion and displacement of a controlled-force, accelerated periodontal probe moving from the convex enamel to the flat cementum yielded results with a high degree of repeatability and validity.…”
