Impact of gingival phenotype on the periodontal disease

Aim : The aims of the present study were to explore relations between gingival phenotype (GP) and periodontal health status find prevalence a specific in small Bulgarian population. Materials methods We recruited 50 patients attending our dental practice with different diagnoses. A detailed was taken assess diagnosis each participant. Several clinical for evaluation thickness keratinized tissue width, including TRAN method, transgingival probing, direct measurement, used. data summarized analyzed statistically. Results found significant thick phenotype, particular flat type. periodontitis had higher distribution while those gingivitis, thin scalloped noted. In regards (GT), 36 participants have GT >1 mm, remaining 14 ≤1 mm. Statistically differences width attached gingiva phenotypes. No age sex participants. Conclusions (with mild scalloped) versus studied sample. highest relative proportion among subsample individuals phenotype. Regarding – 42.9%. GP (50%), followed by (35.7%).
