Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Periodontology
  • Digital Imaging

Background:

  • Gingival recessions are common and require accurate monitoring.
  • Traditional methods for assessing gingival recession can be subjective and lack precision.
  • 3D digital models offer potential for quantitative analysis of oral structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel method for quantitative assessment of gingival recessions.
  • To utilize serial 3D digital models for accurate measurement of gingival margin changes.
  • To compare a new superimposition technique with a gold standard for recession assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Simulated mild and severe gingival recessions on stone casts.
  • Created surface models and performed 3D best fit superimposition.
  • Compared a tested method (CC) using single tooth crowns against a gold standard (GS) using adjacent structures.

Main Results:

  • The tested method showed minimal median differences from the gold standard for both mild (0.008 mm) and severe (0.009 mm) recessions.
  • High intra- and inter-operator reproducibility was demonstrated for the tested method.
  • The method accurately quantifies gingival recession, irrespective of tooth position or form changes.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed 3D digital model superimposition method provides accurate monitoring of gingival margin changes.
  • This technique facilitates precise diagnosis of gingival recessions.
  • Enhanced visualization and quantification of gingival recession improve patient-doctor communication and treatment planning.
