    The Sulcus Bleeding Index (SBI) demonstrated greater sensitivity than the Gingival Index (GI) in detecting gingival inflammation in children. Specifically, SBI outperformed GI in identifying bleeding in papillary gingival units.

    Area of Science:

    • Periodontology
    • Dental diagnostics

    Background:

    • Gingival health assessment relies on indices to quantify inflammation.
    • The Gingival Index (GI) and Sulcus Bleeding Index (SBI) are commonly used diagnostic tools.
    • Comparative sensitivity analysis is crucial for selecting optimal clinical assessment methods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the diagnostic sensitivity of the Gingival Index (GI) and the Sulcus Bleeding Index (SBI).
    • To evaluate the performance of GI and SBI in detecting early signs of gingival inflammation in children.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative study involving 230 children aged 11-15 years (111 Swedish, 119 Swiss).
    • Two independent investigators assessed 22 anterior gingival units per child using either GI or SBI.
    • Statistical analysis, including the chi-squared test, was employed to compare index sensitivity across different gingival units.

    Main Results:

    • The Sulcus Bleeding Index (SBI) showed significantly higher sensitivity than the Gingival Index (GI) in 61.4% of comparisons.
    • The GI was more sensitive in only 13.6% of cases, primarily for marginal gingival units.
    • SBI demonstrated superior sensitivity for all papillary gingival units, irrespective of dental arch.

    Conclusions:

    • The Sulcus Bleeding Index (SBI) is a more sensitive indicator of gingival inflammation than the Gingival Index (GI) in pediatric populations.
    • SBI's enhanced sensitivity, particularly for papillary regions, suggests its utility in early detection of periodontal disease.
    • Clinical practice may benefit from prioritizing SBI for comprehensive gingival health evaluations in children.
