Production of Walking Strokes
The 3 steps of probing: |
2. Create a walking stroke by moving the probe tip up and down in short bobbing strokes
3. Move forward in 1mm increments

|
Why is the probe bobbed in 1mm increments around the entire circumference of the tooth? |
|
|
How are measurements recorded? |
|
|
What steps are used to probe the cole? (usually below the contact area of two adjacent teeth) |
2. Tilt the probe - Pull out 1mm and slant the probe lightly so that the tip reaches under the contact area
3. Measure the cole - in this position, gently press downward to touch the soft tissue base (cole is measured from both the buccal/facial and the lingual of each tooth |
|
What difficulty is experienced when probing the maxillary teeth? And how is this resolved? |
Difficulty:
To resolve this:
|
|
How are the pocket depths recorded for the buccal/facial aspects of each tooth? Use tooth #6 as an example. |
1. Begin with section one - insert tip at the distofacial line angle and walk probe toward the distal surface (tilt probe for the cole) then remove probe and record deepest reading for section 1 (distofacial line angle to distal cole).
2. Continue to section 2-3 - reinsert tip at the distofacial line angle and walk probe toward the mesial surface (tilt probe for the cole) then remove tip and record deepest reading for section 2 (distofacial line angle to mesiofacial line angle) and section 3 (mesiofacial line angle to mesial cole) |
|
How are the pocket depths recorded for the lingual aspects of each tooth? Use tooth #6 as an example. |
1. Begin with section 4 - insert tip at the mesiolingual line angle and walk probe toward the mesial surface (tilt probe for the cole) then remove probe and record deepest reading for section 4 (mesiolingual line angle to mesial cole).
2. Continue to section 5-6 - reinsert tip at the mesiolingual line angle and walk probe toward the distal surface (tilt probe for the cole) then remove tip and record deepest reading for section 5 (mesiolingual line angle to distolingual line angle) and section 6 (distolingual line angle to distal cole) |

What must you ALWAY CHECK BEFORE YOU PROBE? |
"Me, My patient, My light, My instrument, My fulcrum, and My adaptation." |
