Various Methods for Measuring Gingival Thickness – A Comparative Analysis of Three Different Methodologies

Introduction: Measuring gingival thickness (GT) is crucial in periodontal and implant dentistry as it impacts clinical decisions and outcomes. Materials and methods: Several methods are employed to assess GT, including conebeam computed tomography (CBCT), transgingival probing, and ultrasonography. Each technique has distinct advantages and limitations in terms of accuracy, invasiveness, and practical application. Results: This study has established that transgingival probing is the gold standard technique for measuring GT.
