ABSTRACT:
A dental probe assembly includes a tool having a handle portion at one end thereof with a probe mounted at the other end. The probe is made of a light conducting member associated with means for transmitting light to the probe. The tool also includes means for sensing the amount of light conducted by the probe. In use the probe would be inserted into a gum pocket and by sensing the amount of light on the probe would be sensed which would correspond to the length of the probe outside of the pocket. The depth of the pocket would be determined from this value.
