Gingival Thickness Assessment: Visual versus Direct Measurement
Background and Aim: Several methods have been suggested to measure gingival thick-ness. This study aimed to assess the reliability of visual assessment of facial gingival biotype of maxillary and mandibular teeth with or without using a periodontal probe

Leptin and Pro-Inflammatory Stimuli Synergistically Upregulate MMP-1 and MMP-3 Secretion in Human Gingival Fibroblasts [PDF]
Introduction Gingival fibroblast-mediated extracellular matrix remodelling is implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontitis, yet the stimuli that regulate this response are not fully understood. The immunoregulatory adipokine leptin is detectable in

New method of assessing the relationship between buccal bone thickness and gingival thickness [PDF]
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between buccal bone thickness and gingival thickness by means of a noninvasive and relatively accurate digital registration method.In 20 periodontally healthy subjects, cone-beam computed tomographic images and intraoral scanned files were obtained.

Association between Gingival Thickness and Recession in Nonperiodontitis Patients
Introduction: Gingival biotype defined as a genetically determined trait describes the thickness of gingiva faciopalatally. Gingival thickness plays an important role in the development and successful treatment of mucogingival defects. Gingival recession

The repeatability and reproducibility of gingival thickness measurement with an ultrasonic device [PDF]
Successful periodontal and implant surgery as well as orthodontic treatment often depends on gingival and mucosal thickness. So far there has been no generally accepted protocol of measuring the thickness of gingiva by non-invasive methods.The aim of the study was to evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility (%R&R) of the 20 MHz A-Scan ultrasonic ...

Analysis of buccal gingival thickness in maxillary implants and its relation to gingival biotype
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate vestibular gingival thickness in unitary implants located in the anterior maxilla through a cone beam tomography. Material and methods: After visual classification of the gingival biotype of the 32 patients selected for this study (16 patients with thin biotype and 16 patients with thick biotype) measurements of

Methodological Proposal to Assess Gingival Thickness in Children.
Inadequate gingival thickness (GT) may lead to gingival recession. Thus, early identification of patients/teeth at risk would be advantageous. In adults, the probe's visibility through the marginal gingiva (reference test) has been considered a reliable criterion to describe a thin gingiva.
