Digital Assessment of Gingival Dimensions of Healthy Periodontium

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to re-visit the gingival dimension using digital scanning in a healthy Korean population. Forty-eight periodontally healthy volunteers (38 males and 10 females, mean age: 24.3 ± 2.2 years) were included. The mucogingival junction was highlighted using 2.5% diluted iodine solution. Then, the facial gingiva and mucosa of both jaws were digitally scanned using an intraoral digital scanner. Using computer software and periodontal probing, the heights and areas of keratinized gingiv… Show more

“…All 3D surface models were manually cropped within 7 mm apical to the gingival margin area and distal to the first molar ( Figure 1 a). This soft-tissue area is the most relevant for the support of teeth or dental restorations and is expected to include the total height of keratinized gingiva [ 23 ], which are fixed to the underlying bone. The surface of the movable mucosa is not morphologically stable, and thus the proper scanning of this area with the current intraoral scanners is neither realistic nor accurate.…”

“…In another study, the measurement was performed at the 1, 3, 5, and 7 mm levels below the bone crest for the teeth in the anterior maxilla 25 . One can suspect that some of the measurement levels, especially the level at the apical area, might be on the mobile tissue, considering the average height of KT in the anterior maxilla 27 …”

“…Individuals presenting gingival bleeding compatible with gingivitis or evidence of periodontal pockets were excluded. The periodontal diagnosis was, in both cases, assessed through the measurements of probing depth, gingival height (measuring the height of keratinized and attached gingiva), 18 degree of tooth mobility, tooth loss, levels of clinical attachment alongside gingival index, 19 and plaque index. 20 Additionally, it was considered the presence of diabetes and smoking habits in light of their role as periodontitis grade modifiers.…”

“…Considering the outcome variables and based on the clinical evaluation, the patients were classified according to their periodontal status (healthy group and periodontally compromised group) and periodontitis staging according to the World workshop on the classification of periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions (stages I to IV). 1,2 Considering the exposure variables, the demographic variables collected were sex (female and male) and age, defined as the number of life years and recorded in an ordinal scale ( [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25], [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45] and !46 years). The information on diabetes was collected based on the potential influence on the periodontal outcome.…”
