    Health Condition(s) or Problem Periodontal Disease
    Lay Summary The aim of the study is to determine the best method for measuring the extent and severity of the gum disease by comparing the repeatability of probing depths achieved by a manual probe when compared to an automated probe. Hypothesis The null hypothesis to be tested includes - The automated probe does not improve the reproducibility of periodontal probing when compared to manual probing recordings - The automated probe shows no advantage when comparing the reproducibility of - Moderate sites - Deep sites - Single vs. multirooted teeth - Different sextants - Different surfaces of teeth Buccal vs. palatal/lingual Mesial vs. mid vs. distal (from ClinicalTrials.gov)
    Who can enter the trial Inclusion Criteria: - Age 18 and over - Diagnosis of periodontitis (any form) but must have at least 2 sites in at least 1 sextant with a BPE code 4( pockets = 5.5mm) at the time of screening - Patient consent gained and has agreed to be a part of the study Exclusion Criteria: - Any medical condition that would exclude them from having the measurements taken - Any medical problem that would make participation difficult - If they do not have sufficient sites where probing depths are required.
