Study Summary
Patient perception of pain on periodontal probing using a controlled-force, electronic probe was not significantly affected by the use of a modified (ball-end) probe tip design except for in the maxilla, where a standard straight probe tip appeared to be more comfortable for patients.
Primary Outcome
Patients will report on pain on probing utilizing two ungraded 100mm horizontal visual analogue scales (VAS): line with values from 0-100, where 0 is no pain and 100 is the worst possible pain, representing upper and lower jaws of the mouth. Periodontal probing depth measurements will be compared to assess the reproducibility of the two probe tips.
