Engineered for precision and ease,
the EFP Probe brings clarity to diagnosis and treatment.
Accurate assessment of periodontitis is essential for ensuring effective treatment and maintaining long-term oral health. With the EFP Probe, dental professionals can make confident, evidence-based decisions aligned with the step-by-step approach outlined in the EFP guidelines.
1. Assess - Clinical Examination
- PPD: Asses pocket depths at multiple sites per tooth.
- CAL: Record clinical attachment loss accurately.
- BOP: Standardized bleeding on probing assessments to detect inflammation.
- Mobility: Evaluate tooth stability with comfort.
- Calculus Detection: Assess the quantity of calculus in an atraumatic and patient-friendly way.
- Surgical Need (4–6 mm): Support clinical decisions with precise thresholds.
2. Classify - Staging and Grading
- Staging (I–IV): Combine CAL, RBL, and indicators to stage periodontitis.
- Grading (A–C): Use patient history to determine progression and guide treatment.
3. Stratify - Personalized and Customized Treatment Planning
- Low Risk: Routine cleaning every 6 months.
- Medium Risk: Scaling & root planing; recall every 3–4 months.
- High Risk: Intensive therapy, adjunctive antibiotics or laser; frequent recalls.

EFP Probe Markings and Features
3 mm baseline mark | Black band from 4–6 mm (centered at 5 mm) | Millimeter marks from 7–15 mm | Bands at 9–10 mm & 14–15 mm
HuFriedyGroup patented Qulix™ Coating
Ensures a sharp contrast for easier readings, and a probe that won’t chip, fade, or flake during extended use.
Detailed markings in 1 mm increments
Ideal for patients with more severe disease.
A special band between 4–6 mm
Highlights key probing depths for non-surgical and surgical interventions.
Ball-point tip
Makes it easier to enter the periodontal pocket without damaging the sulcus and allows to check for plaque-retentive factors.
A special marking at 3 mm
Indicates the absence of pockets.
Key Benefits
Diagnostic Confidence
Consistent measurements help reduce variability between clinicians and support the evaluation of pocket severity levels.
Targeted Interventions
Avoid over- or undertreatment – deliver just-right care.
Risk Prevention
Identify high-risk patients early for long-term success.
Patient Engagement
Clear metrics and visuals foster trust and understanding, helping to create a successful recall plan.
