Abstract: ABSTRACT A PERIODONTAL MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENT WITH DEPTH-CONTROLLED GINGIVAL INCISION The present invention relates to a periodontal measurement device for the determination of periodontal pocket depth and provision of a depth controlled gingival incision. The device is equipped with a first and second working arms, a non-traumatic pocket depth locating member, a guarded gingivectomy blade, a depth capture mechanism, a depth transfer mechanism, a blade movement limiting member, and a blade interlock. The pocket depth locating member non-traumatically engages the base of the pocket while the blade is still in the guarded position. The depth capture mechanism captures a pocket depth setting relative to an external gingival margin. The depth transfer mechanism translates the captured pocket depth setting to a permissible cutting position and the movement limiting member prevents any blade movement beyond a certain point. The capture of the pocket depth setting allows for the purposeful release of the interlock and triggering of a blade deployment mechanism. The incision offset selector can adjust the position of the cutting edge above the pocket base.
