Clinical Attachment Loss Calculator

Clinical Attachment Loss Calculator calculator can be used to calculate the clinical attachment loss (CAL) based on probing depth and clinical attachment level.

Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL) = Probing Depth - Clinical Attachment Level

Where:
Probing Depth: The depth of the periodontal pocket measured with a periodontal probe.
Clinical Attachment Level: The distance from the cemento-enamel junction to the base of the periodontal pocket.

Clinical Attachment Loss Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Clinical Attachment Loss Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the Probing Depth in millimeters (mm).
  2. Enter the Clinical Attachment Level in millimeters (mm).
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL).
  4. The result will be displayed in millimeters (mm).

Understanding the Results

Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL) is a measure of the amount of gum tissue attachment loss to the tooth root. A higher CAL value indicates more severe periodontal disease.

Principle Explanations

CAL is calculated by subtracting the Clinical Attachment Level from the Probing Depth. This measurement helps in assessing the severity of periodontal disease and guiding treatment plans.
