Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the width and thickness of keratinized gingiva in mandibular anterior region of individuals with different dental malocclusion groups and levels of crowding.


Methods: The study group included 180 periodontally healthy subjects (102 females and 78males, age groups 16 to 24 years) who presented at the Himachal Institute of Dental Science, Paonta Sahib for orthodontic treatment. The participants involved in the study was divided according to Angle’s classification into Class I, Class II, Class III malocclusion. Each group was further subdivided according to level of crowding into mild, moderate, severe. Width of keratinized gingiva was evaluated as the distance between the mucogingival junction and the free gingival margin. The thickness was determined by transgingival probing technique in mandibular anterior segment. Analysis of variation test and Tukey’s post- hoc test was done for comparison of various groups in relation to width and thickness of keratinized gingiva.


Results: Width of the keratinized gingiva and gingival thickness were observed as being higher in the severe crowding group and at the mandibular canine teeth in the mild crowding group in mandibular anterior region.


Conclusions: In the present study we conclude that there is no significant relation between gingival thickness and width of keratinized gingiva according to the Angle’s classification in mandibular anterior region.
