About

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.

Experimental group

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.

Treatment:

Device: Gingival thickness
