    Oral tissues, attached gingiva and alveolar mucosa, exhibit a temperature difference. This study found a mean surface temperature variation of approximately 2/3 degrees C between these distinct oral mucosal regions.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral histology and physiology
    • Thermography in dentistry

    Background:

    • The attached gingiva and alveolar mucosa are distinct oral tissues with differing clinical appearances.
    • A potential correlation between the visual color difference and surface temperature of these tissues was hypothesized.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the surface temperature difference between attached gingiva and alveolar mucosa.
    • To determine if a measurable temperature variation exists between these two oral structures.

    Main Methods:

    • Twenty systemically healthy subjects were recruited.
    • Surface temperature measurements were taken using a thermocouple probe at five points on either side of the mucogingival junction.

    Main Results:

    • A statistically significant mean temperature difference was observed between the attached gingiva and alveolar mucosa.

  • The average temperature difference recorded was approximately 2/3 degrees Celsius.

    • Conclusions:

    • The study supports the assumption that a temperature difference accompanies the color difference between attached gingiva and alveolar mucosa.
    • These findings contribute to understanding the physiological characteristics of different oral mucosal surfaces.
