“…The CBCT measurements were found to be an accurate representation of the clinical thickness of both labial gingiva and bone. However, exposure to radiation and cost makes it less desirable [12]. The transparency of a periodontal probe was chosen as it is considered atraumatic, rapid and with relatively low cost.…”

Background: Gingival biotype is one of the most important factors that impede success in dental treatments; it affects the outcomes of periodontal surgery, and restorative treatments. Researchers classified gingival biotypes into thin biotype and thick biotype. It is crucial to identify tissue biotype before treatment. Aim of Study: To determine the prevalence of gingival biotypes in a Syrian population, in addition, to study the distribution of gingival biotypes according to gender and tooth shape. Material and Methods: This cross sectional study included 500 volunteers (300 males and 200 females) from the patients who had visited the department of periodontology-dental faculty at Damascus University. Gingival thickness was assessed to determine the gingival biotype for the maxillary central incisors using the direct measurement technique (Trans-gingival probing). Shapes of the maxillary incisors were recorded. A written informed consent was taken from each patient. Statistical analysis was done using test k2 p < 0.05. Results: The mean age was 26.8 ± 4.4 years. Thick gingival biotype was detected in 58.4% of the sample and most of patients are men while the prevalence of thin gingival biotype was 41.6% of the sample. It was also observed that patients with thin gingival biotype had triangular tooth shape in 99.5% (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Thick gingival biotype was observed to be more prevalent in a Syrian population than thin biotype. Most Syrian males had thick gingival biotype with square tooth shape while females had thinner biotype and triangular tooth shape.

“…The tongues were retracted toward the floor of patients' mouths and a plastic lip retractor was used to retract the soft tissues away from the teeth and gingiva during CBCT scans and the images that were obtained provided clear information for the analysis of various dentogingival unit measurements [29] . Mentioned method was used in another study in which the average thickness of the palatal mucosa according to ages and specific localizations were determined on thirty one patients [30] . The thickness of palatal mucosa has a major importance for the treatment planning of soft tissue grafts.…”

“…The thickness of palatal mucosa has a major importance for the treatment planning of soft tissue grafts. However, this technique provides only quantitative assessment, thus the differences between the epithelial, fat and connective tissues can not be distinguished on ST-CBCT images [29,30] .…”

“…CBCT is well complied for imaging the highly mineralized structures such as bone or teeth but it cannot provide clear images of soft tissues. However, a novel, CBCT-based method to display and measure the dimensions of the palatal mucosa was reported in a recent study [29,30] . There are contradictory results on whether CBCT or conventional radiographs are more efficient in evaluation of periodontal ligament space [6,16] .…”

“…Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is also a good tool to evaluate soft tissue thickness. [20][21][22] The aim of this study was to evaluate the thickness of cortical bone, total bone and mucosa in the palatine suture and paramedian areas using CBCT to verify the most suitable areas for miniscrew placement.…”

The aim of this study was to measure the thickness of the hard palate and its overlying mucosa using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), for purposes of miniscrew placement. The sample comprised 36 CBCT scans of patients aged 12 to 52 years from a database of the Orthodontics Department of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Paracoronal views of the palatal region were reconstructed at 4, 8, 16 and 24 mm posterior to the incisive foramen. In each reconstruction measurements were taken at the suture, 3 mm and 6 mm bilaterally to it. Wilcoxon's test verified the differences between the selected regions. Total bone height decreased from the anterior to the posterior region. In cross sections 4, 16 and 24, bone height decreased from the suture laterally to the 3 mm region and then increased in the 6 mm region. The cortical thickness does not seem to be a concern because it presented a mean thickness of at least 1 mm at all sites evaluated. The measurements of the mucosa thickness decreased from lateral to median and from anterior to posterior regions. The most suitable areas for miniscrew placement in the palate are located 4 mm posterior to the incisive foramen, in the median or paramedian regions 3 mm adjacent to the suture.

A new method to assess and measure palatal masticatory mucosa by cone‐beam computerized tomography

Abstract: A new non-invasive method to consistently obtain high-quality images of the palatal masticatory mucosa is described. Measurements of this mucosa could be obtained at different locations on the palate.
