Attempts to standardize and improve periodontal probes have resulted in the introduction of automated probing devices as well as recording systems and enhanced methods to measure and analyze periodontal data. Newer technologies include constant-force, electronically linked probes, thermal and mobility probes, and the use of automated speech recognition to gather and record information. The coupling of these systems with computers has increased our ability to analyze periodontal disease parameters and to gain a new understanding of criteria necessary to measure disease activity.
为使牙周探针标准化并加以改进，人们做出了诸多尝试，这导致了自动探测装置以及记录系统的引入，还有用于测量和分析牙周数据的改进方法。更新的技术包括恒力电子连接探针、热探针和松动度探针，以及利用自动语音识别来收集和记录信息。这些系统与计算机的结合提高了我们分析牙周疾病参数的能力，并使我们对测量疾病活动所需的标准有了新的认识。
