“…The facio-palatal dimension of the gingiva is very importanat during the progression of periodontal disease as well as its management . 1,2 The response of periodontal tissue to any kind of trauma and the overall health of the dentition depends on the associated tissue biotype. 3 The treatment planning for any patient is based on careful clinical examination,radiographic evaluation and assessment of the type of biotype.…”

Background:The causes that interfere with the outcome of dental treatment is gingival biotype Scalloped -thin and flat-thick are the types of gingival biotypes. Periodontal diseases progress differently in response to plaque associated inflammation. While periodontal pocket may be the result in flat thick gingival biotype , gingival recession may be the result of scalloped and thin gingival biotype. With this background this study aimed at evaluating the relation between gingival biotype and the progression of periodontal diseases . Materials and Methods:Sixty systemically healthy subjects between 30-50years of age, diagnosed with chronic periodontitis who visited outpatient department of Manipal college of dental sciences, Mangalore, India, took part in the study. The subjects were explained about the study, and written consent was obtained. A thorough dental examination with a comprehensive survey of maxillary central incisors and lateral incisors was performed to assess the following clinical parameters: Bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth, loss of attachment, gingival thickness and gingival recession . The collected data was subjected to statistical analysis. Results:The mean Gingival thickness for the central incisor, lateral incisor, and canine were 1.11 mm, 1.01 mm, and 0.82 mm, respectively. ANOVA test was done to compare the gingival thickness between the incisors which was statistically significant with a value < 0.001. The Posthoc Tukey tests comparing gingival recession showed a mean difference of 1.324* and was statistically significant with a p value of < 0.001. Comparison of probing pocket depth showed a mean difference of 0.882* which again was statistically significant with a p value of < 0.001.

The high prevalence of periodontal diseases, up to 90%, is an important issue in medicine. The periodontal biotype is one of the most important parameters that determine the course and prognosis of periodontal diseases. Gingival thickness, keratinized tissue, and bone morphology are the main characteristics of the periodontal biotype. This article presents a review of the literature on the characteristics of periodontal biotypes, their response to treatment, and treatment prognosis. A search of electronic databases (Medline, EMBASE, CyberLeninka, Elibrary, and RINC) was performed for the literature review. The article also presents studies about relationships among periodontal biotype, recession, and malocclusion. The thin biotype is a predictive factor of gingival recession. Recessions are characterized by apical migration of marginal gingiva and defects in root coverage. Gingival recession may result from orthodontic movement of teeth, particularly among patients with the thin gingival biotype. The thin and thick biotypes respond differently to inflammation, restorative and surgical effects, and parafunctional habits. A gingival thickness greater than 2 mm can be categorized as the thick biotype and less than 1,5 mm as the thin biotype. Gingival thickness can affect the results of restorative therapy and root coverage procedures. It is necessary to determine the gingival biotype before initiating treatment. Special care must be taken when planning treatment for cases with a thin biotype.
