Present Situation and Prospect in the Typing of Gingival Phenotype

Abstract

Abstract: Gingival phenotype plays an important role in risk assessment, therapeutic regimen, and prognosis evaluation of oral treatment. According to the consensus report of European Federation of Periodontology and American Academy of Periodontology in 2018, the gingival phenotype is recommended to divide into two types by means of periodontal exploration: thin gingival thickness (≤1 mm) and thick gingival thickness (>1 mm). However, these two types have not been proved to be the best method to guide clinical practice, and the quantitative measurement of the gingival thickness is also significantly different from 1mm when the periodontal probe is visible. At present, more and more studies have suggested that classifying gingival phenotype into three types is more instructive for clinical practice, which has also been confirmed statistically. This article reviews on the typing of gingival phenotype.

Key words: gingival phenotype, typing, gingival thickness
