TECHNIQUES USED IN EVALUATION OF GINGIVAL PHENOTYPE

This study evaluates the 4 different techniques used in clinical measurement of gingival phenotype. 1) Tranclusency of UNC-15 Periodontal Probe, 2) Transgingival probing with Endodontic file (#20), 3)Transgingival Probing with Modified Florida Probe and 4) Translucency Colorvue Biotype Probe.

The aim of our study is to evaluate the reliability and applicability of the current examination methods recommended in order to improve the deficiencies of the traditional examination methods used in the evaluation of the gingival phenotype.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Systemically healthy individuals,
  • Periodontal healthy individuals with a whole mouth plaque score of 15% and a whole mouth bleeding score of less than 15%,
  • Individuals who have not undergone periodontal treatment (subgingival curettage, gingivectomy, crown lengthening, etc.) in the last 6 months,
  • Absence of dental compensations of skeletal malocclusion.

Exclusion criteria

  • Individuals who smoke and have a history of smoking,
  • Individuals who have undergone orthodontic treatment,
  • Individuals using drugs that may cause gingival hyperplasia (immunosuppressive drugs, calcium channel blockers, anticonvulsant drugs, etc.)
  • Individuals who are in pregnancy or lactation period,
  • Presence of structural defects, crowns or large restorations in the maxillary anterior teeth to be measured,
  • The presence of missing or supernumerary teeth in the maxillary anterior teeth to be measured,

Treatment and study plan

Gingival thickness

Device

After the classification the phenotype, gingival thickness was measured with Endodontic File and Modified Florida Probe from the 3 different points. First point was the probing depth level, second one was 1mm apical to this level and third one from the 2mm apical to probing depth.

Primary outcomes

  1. Feasibility and reliability of techniques

    Time frame: 1 day

    Comparison between the conventional techniques(Periodontal probe and Endodontic file) and modern techniques(Colorvue Biotype Probe and Modified Florida Probe) in terms of reliability and feasibility.

Secondary outcomes

  1. The amount of gingival thickness and the width of the keratinized tissue

    Time frame: 1 day

    To determine the cut-off dimensions by evaluating the gingival thickness at 3 different points.
