A comprehensive analysis of gingival phenotype: interaction and relationship between gingival and tooth morphometric parameters.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to determine the relationship between clinical and morphological parameters and gingival phenotype and to compare gingival phenotype across arch location.

Methods

Clinical measurements of gingival thickness (GT) keratinized gingival width (KGW) and papilla height (PH) were obtained of 50 individuals. In addition, dental stone models were measured for crown width (CW), crown length (CL) and gingival angle (GA). Data were analyzed using parametric and nonparametric tests, with a p-value of < 0.05 considered significant.

Results

Univariate analysis indicated that women were 4.1 times more likely to have thinner GT than men, whereas multivariate analysis found the likelihood to be 6.7 times higher. GT was thicker in the maxillary right posterio
