      radiographic morphometric study.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Gingival biotypes have been reported to influence the outcome of 
      restorative therapies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation of 
      different morphometric parameters with the thickness of the buccal gingiva and 
      alveolar bone at different apico-coronal levels. METHODS: In 60 periodontally 
      healthy subjects, the central maxillary incisor was examined. Clinical parameters 
      included the crown width/crown length ratio (CW/CL), gingival width (GW), 
      gingival scallop (SC) and transparency of the periodontal probe through the 
      gingival sulcus (TRAN). Gingival and alveolar bone dimensions were assessed on 
      parallel profile radiographs. RESULTS: Crown width/crown length ratio was 
      positively correlated with the thickness of the gingiva at the cementoenamel 
      junction (G3) (r = 0.47) and to the thickness of the alveolar crest (A1) 
      (r = 0.46); whereas SC had a weak negative and GW had a moderate positive 
      correlation with all radiographic measurements. TRAN had a stronger negative 
      relation to the thickness at the free gingiva (r = -0.42) than to other tissue 
      thicknesses. All gingival thickness values were correlated with A1 value. 
      Multivariate models identified CW/CL and GW as significant predictors for G3 
      value, whereas CW/CL was a significant predictor for A1 value. CONCLUSION: Crown 
      width/crown length ratio and GW could represent surrogate parameters to 
      anticipate the gingival thickness at the cementoenamel junction, whereas CW/CL 
      might also be an indicator for alveolar bone crest thickness. Periodontal probing 
      has a limited prognostic value for these tissue dimensions.
