Pocket Marker Forceps (most notably Crane-Kaplan or Goldman-Fox patterns) are specialized periodontal instruments used to measure pocket depth and create visible reference marks on external tissue prior to surgical excision.
🔑 Key Properties
▪️ Length:15cm
▪️ Asymmetric Beak Design: Consists of one smooth, thin probe blade inserted vertically into the pocket, and an opposing blade featuring a short, sharp perforating pin.
▪️ Mechanical Marking Pin: When the handles are squeezed together, the external sharp pin pierces the outer gingiva, creating a distinct bleeding point (punctate) at the exact base of the pocket.
▪️ Paired Configurations: Produced in Left (#L) and Right (#R) anatomical options to ensure proper access across all four oral quadrants and both facial and lingual surfaces.
▪️ Surgical Steel Construction: Made from high-grade stainless steel to resist corrosion and withstand high-temperature autoclave sterilization.
▪️ Ergonomic Grip: Features textured, spring-action handles for slip protection and tactile feedback during soft tissue penetration.
✅ Primary Applications
▪️ Gingivectomy & Gingivoplasty: Establishes a series of visible bleeding points along the attached gingiva to serve as a visual guide line for external bevel incisions.
▪️ Esthetic Crown Lengthening: Maps out the exact margin of soft tissue to be resected before exposing subgingival tooth structure or bone recontouring.
▪️ Pre-Surgical Pocket Depth Mapping: Translates intra-pocket depth measurements onto the external tissue surface prior to periodontal flap elevation.
❇️
▪️ Primary Material: Surgical-grade stainless steel
▪️ Key Function: Pinpoint perforation of soft tissue pocket depth
▪️ Sterilization: Standard steam autoclave safe
