Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Systemically healthy individuals,

Exclusion Criteria:

• Individuals who smoke and have a history of smoking,

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Gingival Recession

Intervention

Device:
• Gingival thickness
After the classification the phenotype, gingival thickness was measured with Endodontic File and Modified Florida Probe from the 3 different points. First point was the probing depth level, second one was 1mm apical to this level and third one from the 2mm apical to probing depth.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Feasibility and reliability of techniques	Comparison between the conventional techniques(Periodontal probe and Endodontic file) and modern techniques(Colorvue Biotype Probe and Modified Florida Probe) in terms of reliability and feasibility.	1 day
