Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Periodontology
  • Implantology

Background:

  • Accurate measurement of gingival thickness (GT) is essential for successful periodontal and implant procedures.
  • Various techniques exist for GT assessment, each with unique benefits and drawbacks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the gold standard method for measuring gingival thickness.
  • To provide guidance on the most reliable technique for clinical application.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of existing GT measurement techniques.
  • Evaluation of accuracy, invasiveness, and practicality of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), transgingival probing, and ultrasonography.

Main Results:

  • Transgingival probing was identified as the most accurate and reliable method for assessing gingival thickness.
  • Established transgingival probing as the gold standard for GT measurement.

Conclusions:

  • Transgingival probing should be considered the preferred method for measuring gingival thickness in clinical practice.
  • Accurate GT assessment using transgingival probing can improve treatment planning and outcomes in periodontal and implant dentistry.
