A recent study investigates whether probe color markings degrade through sterilization, wear off during implant probing, and transfer onto implant surfaces. Findings suggest that even gentle probing can cause color transfer, raising…

A study was conducted to examine how cleaning, sterilization, and frictional wear affect the color markings on dental probes and their impact on implant surfaces. Results showed that while sterilization didn’t degrade the color markers,…

Monitoring implant health requires precise diagnostic techniques, with probing recognized as a key assessment tool. However, the choice between metal and plastic probes remains controversial, as both present unique risks to implant surfaces…
