Crane-Caplane Pocket Marker 15,0cm right

Periodontal Pocket Marker is a dental instrument designed to assess and mark gum tissue, commonly used in periodontal procedures. It resembles tweezers or forceps with right and left-sided versions to accommodate both sides of the mouth. Each version is angled specifically to ensure accessibility and precision for marking periodontal pockets on either side. The pointed end of the instrument features notches or markings for measuring the depth of periodontal pockets that form between teeth and gums due to gum disease. These notched markings provide a visual reference for depth, assisting in diagnosing the extent of gum disease. The pocket marker is typically made of stainless steel, making it durable, corrosion-resistant, and suitable for sterilization. The Periodontal Pocket Marker is used not only to measure pocket depth but also to mark areas on the gum tissue that may require surgical intervention, such as incisions or tissue removal. By creating small indentations on the gum tissue, it provides guidance for accurate surgical procedures like gingivectomy or flap surgery.
