State-of-the-art  ultrasonic device PIROP in intraoral application for biometry soft tissue thickness in the periodontium (Gingival Thickness) – GUM/Gingiva – Periodontal Soft Tissue biometrics.

PIROP allows to measure and monitor  periodontal mucosa thickness in prophylaxis and periodontal treatment. Identification of a periodontal biotype  has a fundamental meaning in optimal planning of preventive and therapeutic management mainly in periodontology, orthodontics, implantology and dental prosthetics.
