Goldman-Fox Periodontal Probes

Description

Goldman-Fox Periodontal Probes

A Goldman-Fox periodontal probe measures pocket depth and helps the clinician chart the health of the gingival attachment. This listing collects eight Goldman-Fox versions from several catalogue pages. As a result, you can match an existing charting habit or build a new probe set, all shipped from Atlanta, Georgia.

Williams Pattern and Its Style 2

The Williams Pattern uses the classic Williams scale: marks at 1, 2 and 3 mm, then at 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Skipping 4 and 6 mm makes readings easier to spot. The Williams Pattern, Style 2 sits in the next row of the same catalogue page. It is a second handle pattern, and the catalogue does not name it. So compare both photos and choose your preferred handle.

Flat and Double-Ended Versions

The Flat option is listed in the catalogue as a Goldman-Fox flat periodontal pocket probe, so its tip is flat rather than round. Meanwhile, the Double-Ended option is a Goldman-Fox probe that our supplier sells as a set component. As the name says, both handle ends work. Check its photos to see each tip before ordering.

Numbered Figures 3, 16, 17 and 23

Four more choices come from the catalogue’s periodontal probes page, labelled Fig. 3, 16, 17 and 23. That page names them by number only. Therefore, use the product images to compare tip shape and markings, then pick the figure closest to the probe your team already trusts. Still undecided? Email a picture of the probe in your cassette, and we will suggest a figure.

Choosing a Probe for Your Charting Routine

Consistency matters more than any single feature when you chart. First, settle on one marking style for the whole team. Next, keep identical probes in every hygiene cassette, because mixed patterns lead to mixed readings. Our US team checks every probe by eye before shipping. Also, each Goldman-Fox probe earns three years against manufacturing defects; faulty steel or finish qualifies. Probes travel unsterilized, so process them before charting.

The probe steel follows ASTM F899. Find related periodontal tools in Diagnostic, Periodontal & Restorative Instruments. After charting, many clinicians reach for the Goldman-Fox Curettes & Scalers. Order and return questions are handled in the FAQs.
