It helps clinicians assess gum health by checking for \u201cpockets,\u201d bleeding, and changes in tissue attachment. It is commonly used during routine dental checkups, periodontal (gum) evaluations, and periodontal maintenance visits. The results are recorded in a periodontal chart to track changes over time."}
