Abstract
Periodontitis is the most prevalent noncontagious disease. Periodontal probing for measuring probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) has been an important diagnostic tool to determine the presence and severity of periodontal diseases. For probing reproducibility, adroit probe handling with constant force is required.
