Abstract :

Objective– The objective of the study is to measure and assess the dimensions of supracrestal gingival tissue among different tooth in same arch in healthy human periodontium.

Materials and methods– In this study 30 dental students with clinically healthy periodontium were examined by doing sulcular probing, from the gingival margin to the top of the alveolar crest, using a UNC–15probe, at maxillary and mandibular incisors, canines, and premolars and first molars unilaterally.

Results– Comparison of mean SGT of individual tooth types in maxillary and mandibular arch showed significant difference with p value of 0.005 and 0.000 respectively. Maxillary and mandibular SGT dimensions were lesser for the central incisors compared to the other teeth in the arch which were measured. Also, significant difference is observed on compå SGT dimension among different tooth in same arch.

Conclusion– There is significant difference in the SGT dimensions in the different tooth in the same arch. Maxillary and mandibular SGT dimensions were lesser for the central incisors compared to the other teeth in the arch which were measured. Thus, indicating more bone reduction as we move posteriorly from anterior.
