Radiographic evaluation is an essential complement to clinical assessment but has limitations such as the impossibility of assessing tissue inflammation. It seems essential to consider new exploration methods in clinical practice. Ultrasound of periodontal tissues could make it possible to visualize periodontal structures and detect periodontal diseases (periodontal pocket measurement and the presence of intra-tissue inflammation). Clinical Innovation Report: An ultrasound probe has been specially developed to explore periodontal tissues. The objective of this clinical innovation report is to present this device and expose its potential. Discussion: Various immediate advantages favor using ultrasound: no pain, no bleeding, faster execution time, and an image recording that can be replayed without having to probe the patient again. Ultrasound measurements of pocket depth appear to be as reliable and reproducible as those obtained by manual probing, as do tissue thickness measurements and the detection of intra-tissue inflammation. Conclusions: Ultrasound seems to have a broad spectrum of indications. Given the major advances offered by ultrasound imaging as a complementary aid to diagnosis, additional studies are necessary to validate these elements and clarify the potential field of application of ultrasound imaging in dentistry.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics14131335","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,24]],"date-time":"2024-06-24T06:59:58Z","timestamp":1719212398000},"page":"1335","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Intraoral Ultrasonography for the Exploration of Periodontal Tissues: A Technological Leap for Oral Diagnosis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Matthieu","family":"Renaud","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Odontology, Tours University, 37000 Tours, France"},{"name":"Department of Medicine and Bucco-Dental Surgery, Tours University Hospital, 37000 Tours, France"},{"name":"Bioengineering Biomodulation and Imaging of the Orofacial Sphere, 2Bios, Odontology Department, Tours University, 37000 Tours, France"},{"name":"N2C U1069 INSERM, Tours University, 37000 Tours, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mickael","family":"Gette","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Odontology, Tours University, 37000 Tours, France"},{"name":"Bioengineering Biomodulation and Imaging of the Orofacial Sphere, 2Bios, Odontology Department, Tours University, 37000 Tours, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexis","family":"Delpierre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Odontology, Tours University, 37000 Tours, France"},{"name":"Department of Medicine and Bucco-Dental Surgery, Tours University Hospital, 37000 Tours, France"},{"name":"Bioengineering Biomodulation and Imaging of the Orofacial Sphere, 2Bios, Odontology Department, Tours University, 37000 Tours, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3649-9424","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samuel","family":"Calle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GREMAN, Universit\u00e9 de Tours, CNRS, INSA-CVL, 26 Rue Pierre et Marie Curie, 37100 Tours, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2019-9390","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Franck","family":"Levassort","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GREMAN, Universit\u00e9 de Tours, CNRS, INSA-CVL, 26 Rue Pierre et Marie Curie, 37100 Tours, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric","family":"Denis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Odontology, Tours University, 37000 Tours, France"},{"name":"Department of Medicine and Bucco-Dental Surgery, Tours University Hospital, 37000 Tours, France"},{"name":"EA 75-05 Education, Ethique, Sante\u0301, Faculte\u0301 de Me\u0301decine, Universite\u0301 Franc\u0327ois-Rabelais, 37000 Tours, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ga\u00ebl Y.","family":"Rochefort","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Odontology, Tours University, 37000 Tours, France"},{"name":"Bioengineering Biomodulation and Imaging of the Orofacial Sphere, 2Bios, Odontology Department, Tours University, 37000 Tours, France"},{"name":"iBrain U1253 INSEM, Tours University, 37000 Tours, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"11","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0757.2005.00141.x","article-title":"Structure of periodontal tissues in health and disease","volume":"40","author":"Nanci","year":"2006","journal-title":"Periodontol. 2000"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"204","DOI":"10.4103\/jisp.jisp_294_21","article-title":"Models of periodontal disease pathogenesis: A journey through time","volume":"26","author":"Avula","year":"2022","journal-title":"J.
