PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pocket measuring probe allowing a periodontal pocket depth to be measured daily and easily at home.SOLUTION: The pocket measuring probe includes: three main components which are a probe body composed of a holding cylinder and a bundle holding cylinder a sleeve projected from the front end, and slidable in a longitudinal direction and rotatable around the longitudinal direction as an axis and a probe penetrating the inside of the sleeve and bundle holding cylinder and stuck to the holding cylinder. A tip of the probe is provided with a probe tip part for specifying an initial space L0 between the sleeve tip of the sleeve and the probe tip of the probe and preventing the sleeve from falling from the probe. A tip of the bundle holding cylinder is provided with a valve protrusion, and bundle holding mechanisms for allowing the valve protrusion to hold a bundle are provided at predetermined spaces at the rear part of the sleeve.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】歯周ポケット深さを家庭で日常的に簡便容易に測定できるポケット測定プローブを提供する【解決手段】保持筒と保束筒で構成したプローブ本体と、前端から突出し長手方向へのスライド移動と長手方向を軸とした回転が自由なスリーブと、前記スリーブ内及び前記保束筒内を貫通して前記保持筒に固着される探針の三つの主要要素部品で構成し、且つ、前記探針の先端に、前記スリーブのスリーブ先端と当該探針の探針先端との初期間隔L0を規定すると共に当該探針からの前記スリーブの脱落を防止するための探針先端部を設け、前記保束筒の先端に弁突起を設けると共に、前記スリーブの後方に一定間隔で前記弁突起に保束させるための保束機構を設けたポケット測定プローブ。【選択図】図1
