About

Recent advances in digital technology have led to the emergence of precise methods for measuring gingival recession and tissue thickness. This study aimed to compare digital measurement methods and conventional periodontal probe measurements for the assessment of gingival recession influenced by the gingival phenotype.

This study involved 128 gingival recession sites from 28 systemically healthy patients aged 18-45 years. The participants were categorized into two groups on the basis of gingival thickness. The plaque index, gingival index, probing depth, clinical attachment level, gingival recession depth, and gingival recession width, and keratinized gingival thickness and width were measured using a manual periodontal probe and an intraoral optical surface scanner. Statistical analysis was performed with nonparametric tests because the data were not normally distributed. P<0.05 indicated statistical significanct.
