Abstract

The present application provides an ultrasonic depth detection device, comprising a housing, a focused ultrasonic probe assembly, a nozzle and a water supply pipeline. The focused ultrasonic probe assembly is arranged in the housing. The nozzle is arranged on the housing and located in front of the focused ultrasonic probe assembly. The water supply pipeline is arranged in the housing, and a space is formed between the housing, the focused ultrasonic probe assembly and the nozzle. The water supply pipeline is connected to the space, and the water transported by the water supply pipeline is suitable to enter the space and be sprayed out of the nozzle together with the sound wave of the focused ultrasonic probe assembly. The ultrasonic depth detection device of the present application can measure the periodontal pocket depth in a non-invasive manner, thereby improving the comfort and measurement accuracy.
