The periodontal probe comprises a detection mechanism, a pressure measuring device and a
handle. The detection mechanism is arranged at the far end of the
handle; the pressure measuring device comprises a
pressure detection probe and a pressure prompting mechanism; the
pressure detection probe is arranged on the working part of the detection mechanism, the pressure prompting mechanism is arranged on the
handle, and the pressure applied to the gingiva by the working part is prompted in real time on the pressure prompting mechanism after being detected by the
pressure detection probe. According to the periodontal probe, after force applied to the working part is detected through the pressure measuring device, real-time prompting is carried out in the
modes of pressure value prompting, and / or
pressure range prompting, and / or pressure state prompting and the like, so that it is guaranteed that probing and diagnosing force applied by probing and diagnosing personnel in clinical application is always controlled within a proper
pressure range, and the probing and diagnosing efficiency is improved. Therefore, the working part can detect the bottom of the periodontal pocket, gingivae cannot be punctured due to too large force, and effective and safe clinical examination is guaranteed.
