Measurement of human gingival sulcus temperature

Abstract: With the ambient temperature well regulated (22.8 + 0.2°C, mean ± 95 % confidence limits) the gingival sulcus temperatures of 21 human subjects were measured, and gingival plaque indices recorded. All subjects had clinically healthy gingiva. The sulcus temperatures of the mandibular teeth were found to be higher than those of the maxillary teeth by 0.7 ± 0.2°C. In both arches, the sulcus temperatures of the molars exceeded those of the incisors by 1.5 ± 0.3°C, this difference being statistically significant. T… Show more

(Mukherjee 1978, Ng et al 1978, Holthuis et al 1981, Volchansky et al 1985, Volchansky & Cleaton-Jones 1987, Kung et al 1990) that the average subgingival temperature was almost 2°C lower than the sublingual temperature. In addition, there was a great deal of variation of temperatures between teeth as pointed out previously.…”

“…Temperature is one of the more attractive methods of evaluating this response, since it lends itself to direct physical measurement. A number of devices have been developed to measure subgingival temperature (Mukherjee 1978, Ng et al 1978, Holthuis et al 1981, Volchansky et al 1985, Volchansky & Cleaton-Jones 1987, Kung et al 1990. These studies described a number of interesting features of subgingival temperature measurements.…”

“…In the analysis of the data, no distinction was made between the identical right and the left tooth of each arch and also between the mesial, distal, buccal and lingual sides of any given tooth as no statistically significant difference was expected (Mukherjee 1978, Ng et al 1978. The mean temperature of the periodontal pockets of various for each tooth was determined.…”

“…Thermocouples, usually made from copper and copper/nickel alloy, are considered to be as accurate as thermisters and are insulated so that pinpoint measurements may be made (Volchansky, Cleaton-Jones & Smith, 1990). Both these instruments have been used to measure temperature of gingival crevices (Mukherjee, 1978;Ng, Compton & Walker, 1978;Maeda et al, 1979;Maeda et al, 1980); periodontal pockets, (Holthuis, Gelskey & Chebib, 1981;Mukherjee, 1981;Kung, Ochs & Goodson, 1990;Meyerov et al, 1991;Haffajee, Socransky & Goodson, 1992); and the surface of oral mucosa (Brill, Maeda & Stoltz, 1978;Holthuis & Chebib, 1983;Volchansky et al, 1985).…”
