Dental Expros Probes for Periodontal Charting and Screening
A thorough dental examination depends on measuring the space around each tooth and recording what is found. Expros instruments are slim, double-ended probes marked in millimetres, so a dentist or hygienist can chart periodontal pocket depths accurately during an exam. Our dental Expros probes collection brings together University of North Carolina, Williams, Novatech and CP-series probes for dentists, hygienists, dental students, clinics and purchasing teams who want clearly described instruments at clear prices. Whether you are equipping a new operatory or restocking a busy practice, you can compare each marking style and choose what suits your charting routine, your patients and the way your team likes to work. Prices vary between patterns, so it is worth comparing them before you order.
Types of Expros Probes We Offer
University of North Carolina probes. The Expros 3A/UNC15, the Expros TU17/UNC15 and the Expros 23/UNC12 are listed for charting up to 12 or 15 mm.

CP-series and Novatech probes. The Expros 23/CP-12, the Expros 23/CP-12S and the Expros NT3/CP-12 Novatech are listed for 3-6-9-12 screening, and the Expros 3mm to 11mm is listed for CP-11 screening.
Why Instrument Quality Matters
A probe is only useful if its markings are clear and its tip is smooth and slim. Faded or uneven markings lead to misread depths, and a rough tip can catch on tissue. Check the specifications on each product page carefully, since markings and tip shapes differ between patterns. Reliable instruments also keep a practice running, because fewer replacements mean fewer interruptions. After each patient, clean the instruments promptly and follow the manufacturer's instructions and your facility's reprocessing protocol in sterilization baskets.
How to Choose the Right Probe
-
Marking style: UNC, Williams and CP markings divide the scale differently, so match your charting routine.
-
Range: Check the listed range, such as 1 to 10 mm or 1 to 15 mm.
-
Shaft: Thin versions reach tighter spaces.
-
Options: Every listing offers selectable options, so confirm your choice before ordering.
Inspect the markings and tip before every patient, and keep spares ready, since a damaged probe should never be used for charting. Compare prices and availability on each product page, or ask our team if you need help planning a larger order for your dental practice.
