  • ULTRASONIC PERIODONTAL DEVICE AND METHOD OF USING
    Publication number: 20100124732
    Abstract: System and methods of detecting and measuring periodontal disease comprising filling a periodontal pocket with a fluid capable of propagating sound waves, transmitting a sound wave into the periodontal pocket, sensing the return sound wave from the periodontal pocket, and determining the depth of the pocket by measuring the time it takes the at least one transmitted sound wave to traverse the periodontal pocket and return. A peak discrimination analysis algorithm is also provided.
    Type: Application
    Filed: January 25, 2010
    Publication date: May 20, 2010
    Inventors: Gregory D. Ariff, Jennifer L. Case, Robert Jason Gwaltney, Christian Haller, Patrick Hardin, Jeffrey Cameron Loper, Charles Luddy, Lynessa Erler, Jeffery Smithanik, Andrew Steinberg, Craig Swanner
