Periodontal biotype: characteristic, prevalence and dimensions related to dental malocclusion.

Abstract

OBIETTIVO: La conoscenza dell’anatomia parodontale biotipo gengivale è essenziale quando si eseguono procedure chirurgiche e non chirurgiche nel in ambito odontostomatologico. Lo scopo di questo studio è stato quello di determinare in un gruppo di pazienti la prevalenza del biotipo gengivale e valutare se fosse correlato con le differenti classi di malocclusione di Angle.METODI: Lo studio è stato condotto su 76 volontari (38 maschi, 38 femmine, età media 14,7 anni). Il biotipo gengivale è stato determinato mediante valutazione della traslucenza di una sonda parodontale attraverso il margine gengivale dei denti durante il sondaggio, effettuato vestibolarmente e centralmente su incisivi centrali, laterali e dei canini superiori. È stata anche registrata, su ogni paziente, la malocclusione secondo la classificazione di Angle.RISULTATI: La prevalenza in tutto il campione di biotipo gengivale sottile è stata del 43,4% e di biotipo gengivale spesso è stata del 56,6%. La frequenza nelle femmina con biotipo gengivale sottile è stata significativamente inferiore rispetto ai pazienti di sesso maschile (42,4% e 55,6%, rispettivamente) mentre il biotipo gengivale spesso, era più alta nel sesso femminile rispetto ai pazienti di sesso maschile (55,8% e 44,2%, rispettivamente) (χ2=1.339, P=0,247). Non c’era una significativa associazione tra tipo di malocclusione e biotipo gengivale (P=0,143). C’era tuttavia una prevalenza di biotipo gengivale spesso in pazienti con malocclusione di classe II e una leggera prevalenza di biotipo gengivale sottile in pazienti con malocclusione di classe I.CONCLUSIONI: Nessuna relazione è stata trovata tra i biotipi gengivali e classificazione delle malocclusioni di Angle. È stata osservata, nel campione di pazienti osservati, una più alta prevalenza di biotipo gengivale spesso in particolare nei soggetti di sesso femminile.

BACKGROUND:Knowledge of periodontal anatomy is essential when performing surgical and non-surgical procedures in the field of oral healthcare. Gingival biotype is often assessed for this purpose. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of the gingival biotypes in a group of patients and to evaluate if the gingival biotypes were related with the different types of Angle's classification of malocclusion.METHODS:The study was performed on 76 volunteer patients (38 males, 38 females, mean age 14.7 years old). Gingival biotypes were assessed with the evaluation on the translucence of a periodontal probe through the gingival margin of the tooth during the probing, at the mid facial aspect of both maxillary central, lateral incisors and canine; on each patient, Angle's classification of malocclusion was also recorded.RESULTS:The prevalence in the whole sample of thin gingival biotype was 43.4% and thick gingival biotype was 56.6%. The frequency of female with thin gingival biotype was significantly less respect to male patients (42.4% and 55.6%, respectively) while the thick gingival biotype was higher in the female respect to male patients (55.8% and 44.2%, respectively) (χ2=1.339, P=0.247). There was not a significant association between type of malocclusion and gingival biotype (P=0.143). There was however a prevalence of thick gingival biotype in patient with class II malocclusion and a slight prevalence of thin gingival biotype in patient with class I malocclusion.CONCLUSIONS:No relationship was found between gingival biotypes and Angle's classification of malocclusion. In this sample, a higher prevalence of thick gingival biotype especially among female subjects was observed.
