Background: In this study, we conducted a quantitative analysis of the clinical parameters of crown and gingival morphology (CGM) of the maxillary anterior teeth (MAT). We also analyzed the correlation of these parameters with periodontal biotype (PB), with a view to providing objective standards for PB diagnosis. Methods: The three-dimensional (3D) maxillary digital models of 56 individuals were obtained using an intra-oral scanner. The following parameters were measured with the SpaceClaim software: gingival angle (GA), papilla width (PW), papilla height (PH), crown length (CL), crown width (CW), crown width/crown length ratio (CW/CL), buccolingual width of the crown (BLW), contact surface width (CSW), and contact surface height/crown length ratio (CS/ CL). The PB were determined based on the transparency of the periodontal probe through the gingival sulcus. Independent factors influencing PB were analyzed by logistic regression, and the optimal cutoff values for the independent influencing factors were analyzed using receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC curves). Results: There was no significant difference in the parameters of CGM of the MAT at the left and right sides. The thick biotype accounted for 69.6%, and the parameters of GA, PW, PH, CW, CW/CL and CS/CL were significantly correlated with PB (P ≤ 0.2). GA (odds ratio (OR) = 1.206) and PW (OR = 5.048) were identified as independent predictive factors of PB, with areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.807 and 0.881, respectively, and optimal cutoff values of 95.95°and 10.01 mm, respectively. Conclusion: The CGMs of the MAT at the left and right side are symmetrical. The thin biotype accounts for a small proportion, and GA and PW are independent influencing factors of PB. GA of 95.95°and PW of 10.01 mm are the optimal cutoff values for categorization of individuals as thick biotype. This indicates that when the GA and PW of the right maxillary central incisor are G ≥ 95.95°and ≥ 10.01 mm, respectively, there is a higher probability that these individuals will be categorized as thick biotype.
Objectives To provide reference for computer‐aided esthetic analysis and design of the maxillary anterior teeth. Materials and Methods Intraoral scanner was used to obtain the maxillary three‐dimensional digital models of subjects with healthy periodontal tissue. In SpaceClaim, the occlusal plane was established as the horizontal reference plane to measure the positional relation between the gingival zenith (GZ) of the maxillary anterior teeth, the angle formed between the gingival line and the maxillary midline (GLA), the distance between the GZ of the lateral incisor and gingival line (LID), and the distance between the GZ and the vertical bisected middle surface along the long axis of the clinical crown (VBMS). Results The GLA was 92.7 ± 3.2°. The GZ of the canine, lateral incisor, and left central incisor were located to the GZ of the right central incisor coronally at 0.68 ± 0.91, 0.65 ± 0.66 mm, and apically at 0.12 ± 0.42 mm, respectively. The LID was 0.65 ± 0.92 mm. The GZ of the canine, lateral incisor, and central incisor were located distally to the VBMS at 0.00 ± 0.06, 0.27 ± 0.19, and 0.73 ± 0.21 mm, respectively. Conclusion The GZ at different tooth position are in different heights. The direction and degree of the GZ deviation from the VBMS are also related to tooth position. Clinical Significance The clinical parameters of the gingival contour obtained in this research can be used for patients with unsound contour of periodontal soft tissue to do the anterior teeth esthetic analysis. Besides, it can also be used to determine the proper position between the GZs of the maxillary anterior teeth in anterior teeth esthetic design.

Background This paper aims to quantitatively study the clinical parameters of crown and gingival morphology (CGM) of the maxillary anterior teeth (MAT), and analyze the correlation of parameters between periodontal biotype(PB) and CGM, with a view to providing objective standards for periodontal biotyping.Methods The 3D maxillary digital models of 56 experimental subjects were obtained through an intra-oral scanner, and an array of parameters measued with the SpaceClaim software, such as gingival angle (GA), papilla width (PW), papilla height (PH), crown length (CL), crown width (CW), crown width/crown length ratio (CW/CL), bucco-lingual width of the crown (BLW), contact surface width (CSW), and contact surface height/crown length ratio (CS/CL). Then, the PBs were judged through the transparency method of the periodontal probe through the gingival sulcus. Logistic regression was adopted to analyze the independent influence factors of PB, and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) used to analyze the optimal cutoff value of independent influence factors.Results There is statistical difference to the parameters of CGM of the MAT at left and right side. The thick biotype accounts for 69.6%, and the parameters of gender, GA, PW, PH, CW and CW/CL are significantly correlated with PBs (P≤0.043). GA (OR=1.206) and PW (OR=5.048) are the independent predictive factors of PBs, their areas under the ROC curve (AUC) are 0.807 and 0.881, respectively, and their optimal cutoff values are 95.95° and 10.01mm, respectively.Conclusion The CGMs of the MAT at the left and right side is symmetrical. The thin biotype accounts for a small portion, and GA and PW are the independent influence factors of PBs. When GA is 95.95° and PW is 10.01mm, it is the optimal cutoff value to categorize experimental subjects into thick biotype.
