Abstract:- Objective:- The aim of the study is correlation of bleeding on probing with gingival thickness & determination of gingival thickness in different gender. Methods:- A total of 20 patients (10 male and 10 female) within an age group of 17 to 23 years were included in the study. Maxillary & mandibular anterior teeth were taken into consideration. Gingival index (Loe H & Silness J) was assessed. Plaque estimation done using criteria of Turesky-Gilmore-Glickman modification of the Quigley-Hein plaque index. Gingival thickness was assessed with UNC-15 probe at midfacial site of each selected tooth. Result: - According to the clinical overview the volunteers had mild to moderate plaque induced gingivitis. Average gingival index was negatively associated with gingival thickness (-0.032), whereas plaque index was positively associated (+.308) with gingival index. Conclusion:- Bleeding tendency is higher if gingiva is thin and thickness of masticatory mucosa strongly depends on gender.
Key words:- Gingival thickness, Gingival index, Plaque index, Masticatory mucosa, Midfacial site. |
