Charting and Clearing: Periodontometers and Nordberd Rogine

In oral surgery and periodontal practice, accurate measurement of gum pockets and precise removal of tissue are fundamental steps. The Periodontometers (BTDB 7688), a specialized surgical instrument known as the PCP 11, and the Nordberd Rogine (BTDC 0022), are critical tools used for diagnosis and preparation. The periodontometer is designed for measuring the depth of the sulcus or periodontal pockets, while the Rogine is a versatile double-ended instrument used for clearing and separating tissue.


The periodontometer features a slender, hollow handle and precise markings (PCP 11) to ensure accurate readings of tissue depth, vital for periodontal health charting. The Nordberd Rogine, a 150mm instrument, has two different angled or flat working ends, making it ideal for gently separating gingival tissue before taking impressions or during minor surgical procedures. These instruments are essential dental instruments due to their role in both diagnostic and minor surgical phases. Unlike some disposable charting tools, these are durable, high-quality, reusable tools. The consistent accuracy of the periodontometer’s markings is maintained through repeated sterilization, offering a superior level of reliability compared to single-use surgical instruments.

The principle of using a fine, measured probe is also seen in the beauty teck industry. Specialized mapping pens and measuring tools, which function as a non-invasive “surgical instrument,” are used to meticulously chart the skin for procedures like microblading, ensuring perfect symmetry and proportionality. The reliability of these reusable instruments is a key advantage over single-use surgical instruments that might not offer the same material quality.

In conclusion, the Periodontometers and Nordberd Rogine are vital surgical instruments for dental practice. They provide the necessary precision for accurate periodontal diagnosis and the controlled tissue manipulation required for effective oral surgery and restorative work.
