Smoking influences on the thickness of marginal gingival epithelium [PDF]
Pesquisa Odontológica Brasileira, 2003 Smoking patients show reduction of inflammatory clinical signs that might be associated with local vasoconstriction and an increased gingival epithelial thickness. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the thickness of the marginal gingival oral epithelium in smokers and non-smokers, with clinically healthy gingivae or with gingivitis.

Are colored periodontal probes reliable to classify the gingival phenotype in terms of gingival thickness? [PDF]
Journal of Periodontology, 2021 AbstractBackgroundThis cross‐sectional study assessed the potential of colored periodontal probes (CPP) to classify gingival phenotype in terms of gingival thickness (GT).MethodsBuccal GT in three anterior teeth in each of 50 patients was measured by transgingival sounding and classified by three different methods by eight examiners.
