the accuracy of different assessment methods of the gingival tissue thickness can be controversial affecting their correct classification and the techniques of gingival tissue management in case of mucogingival problems. Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of different assessment methods of measuring GT and to classify into the different gingival phenotypes.
Gingival Phenotype
colored periodontal probes (CPP)
standard periodontal probes (SPP)
transgingival sounding with an endodontic file
The accuracy of different assessment methods of the gingival tissue thickness can be controversial affecting their correct classification and the techniques of gingival tissue management in case of mucogingival problems. The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of different assessment methods of measuring GT and to classify into the different gingival phenotypes. Periodontally clinically healthy patients will be recruited from the Dental Clinic Complex (MIU) according to eligibility criteria. The gingival tissue thickness will be measured using probe-colored periodontal probes (CPP), standard periodontal probes (SPP) and transgingival sounding with an endodontic file (ISO #20), visual judgment using photographs will be done to the three assessment methods. All readings including GT (1ry outcome) as well as keratinized tissue width and probing depth will be carried out by three calibrated outcome assessors. Data collected will be tabulated and statistically analyzed.
