About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Gingival Recession focused on measuring gingival phenotype, gingival thickness

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 40 Years (Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

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,

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Gingival phenotype

Arm Description

A Periodontal probe was used to differentiate between thick and thin phenotypes and Color coded Biotype Probe was used to classified the phenotype as thin, moderate, thick and very thick phenotypes. Endodontic File and Florida probe were used to measure the gingival thickness.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Feasibility and reliability of techniques
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 Outcome Measures

The amount of gingival thickness and the width of the keratinized tissue
To determine the cut-off dimensions by evaluating the gingival thickness at 3 different points.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
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.

Intervention Name(s)
Gingival thickness
Intervention Description
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.
