ABSTRACT:
A dental instrument (10) has a handle (12) having a handle front (12F) and a handle rear (12R). The handle (12) further has a handle grip (12A). The dental instrument (10) further has a probe (14) which is securely attached to and extending frontwardly from the handle front (12F). The probe (14) functions to measure periodontal pockets. The probe (14) has a probe first shaft (14A) which is securely connected at a rear distal end to a front distal end of the handle front (12F). The probe first shaft (14A) is in an approximately parallel configuration to a longitudinal axis of the handle (12). The probe (14) further has a probe second shaft (14B) which is securely connected at a rear distal end at an upward obtuse angle to a front distal end of the probe first shaft (14A). The probe (14) still further has a probe point (14C) which is securely connected at a rear distal end at an approximate perpendicular downward angle to a front distal end of the probe second shaft (14B). The probe point (14C) is imprinted with indicia for indicating distance form the tip.
