[Acoustic feedback for probing at constant force].
Probing of the gingival crevice is generally recognized as the most important diagnostic procedure in periodontitis. Reliable measurements are only possible by probing at constant force. A freshly isolated porcine mandible was used to test, if acoustic feedback enhances the reliability of probing. Our results indicate that the feedback significantly reduces the total probing force and also the variance between single measurements.
