Biotype-based periodontal therapy is growing in awareness amongst clinicians as focus grows around maintaining the integrity and conservation of the patient’s tissue . 1-3 This therapy provides greater patient comfort and promotes optimal oral health. 4-5 Challenge Until now, non-invasive clinical instruments specifically designed to objectively evaluate the gingival biotype have not existed. Solution HuFriedyGroup now offers a reliable, high quality solution to gingival biotype evaluation . The Colorvue™ Biotype Probe system makes it easy and painless to quickly classify your patients’ biotype as thin, medium or thick, thus aiding you in your selection of the proper treatment protocol.

Colorvue™ Biotype Probe By Prof. Giulio Rasperini & Prof. Tiziano Testori
Instrumentation and Procedural Products
Instruction for use The Colorvue ™ Biotype Probe System features three different colors: White, Green and Blue
1. White Probe
2. Green Probe
3. Blue Probe
Using the white probe fi rst, insert it in the gingival sulcus with < 30g of pressure. If it is visible, meaning you can see the color through the gingival tissue, the biotype is thin.
If the white is not visible, use the green probe in the same manner. If the color is visible, it is a medium biotype.
If the green isn’t seen through the gingival tissue, use the blue probe. If the blue is the only color visible through the gingival tissue, the biotype is thick. If no color, even the blue, is visible, the biotype will be very thick.
