A dental probe that directly measures pH level and temperature of gum pockets and other diseased parts of the oral cavity is provided. The dental probe has a handle and a needle with a pH sensor and a temperature sensor in the needle tip. The handle permits the dentist to manipulate the needle tip to examine a diseased spot in the mouth, where both pH levels and temperature can be analyzed. The rear part of the handle has a light receptor which remains outside the oral cavity when the needle tip is inserted in the diseased part, creating a path for light through the needle part. The dental probe is attached to a dental diagnosis device that enables processing and readout of pH levels and temperature.

L'invention porte sur une sonde dentaire qui mesure directement le niveau de pH et la température des poches gingivales et d'autres parties malades de la cavité buccale. La sonde comporte un manche et une aiguille sur la pointe de laquelle se trouvent deux capteurs : un pour le pH et un pour la température. Le manche permet au dentiste de manipuler la pointe de l'aiguille de façon à examiner un endroit malade de la bouche, où le niveau de pH et la température peuvent être analysés. La partie arrière du manche comprend un photorécepteur, demeurant à l'extérieur de la cavité buccale lorsque la pointe de l'aiguille est introduite dans la partie malade, qui crée une traversée optique à travers l'aiguille. La sonde dentaire est reliée à un dispositif de diagnostic dentaire qui traite et indique le niveau de pH et la température.
