title: [Comparative study of the measured values of different periodontal probes].
abstract: A 0.25 N hinged constant force probe (Borodontic) and two inflexible probes (WHO, PCP-11) were used for probing. The mean probing depth differences between WHO and Borodontic as well as between Borodontic and PCP-11 were significant. Deepest probing levels were found with WHO and shallowest levels with Borodontic. Also, the pockets in patients with higher sulcus bleeding index presented shallower probing levels with Borodontic than the other probes.
