Assessment of Gingival Thickness Using Colored Periodontal Probe

NCT05706480 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2025-03-11

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

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.

Conditions

  • Gingival Phenotype

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

colored periodontal probes (CPP)

The CPP will be placed with a force of approximately 0.2 N into the sulcus at the mid buccal surface of the tooth and the color that will be apparent from the tissue will be recorded

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

standard periodontal probes (SPP)

The SPP (William's graduated probe) will be placed with a force of approximately 0.2 N into the sulcus at the mid buccal surface of the tooth and the color that will be apparent from the tissue will be recorded

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

transgingival sounding with an endodontic file

the gingival thickness using the transgingival sounding. After application of local anesthesia gel an endodontic file (ISO 20) with a rubber stopper will be inserted perpendicularly into the buccal aspect of the gingiva (1 mm below the gingival margin) until it touches the tooth surface. The insertion depth will be ensured through placing the rubber stopper in contact with the gingiva and fixing its position and the distance between the tip and the rubber stopper will be calibrated using a manual calibration device (endodontic ruler).
