This is an Observational Type of Study for evaluation of Gingival and Gingival Zenith Angles in Maxillary Anterior Teeth.
- Conditions
- Periodontally and systemically healthy patients.
- Registration Number
- CTRI/2018/01/011339
- Lead Sponsor
- Dr Abhay Kolte
- Brief Summary
This study was conducted to evaluate gingival and gingival zenith angles in maxillary anterior teeth.
A total of 120 subjects with age range of 20-60 years including both male and female visiting the Department of Periodontics at VSPM Dental College and Research Centre Nagpur were recruited. Study was divided into 2 groups **Group I** Comprised of periodontally and systemically healthy patients. 30 males and 30 females within an age range of 21-40 years. **Group II** Comprised of periodontally and systemically healthy patients. 30 males and 30 females within an age range of 41-60 years.
A brief description of entire procedure was given to every patient before starting procedure. Written informed consent was taken from the patients who wished to enroll in the study.
For all subjects following periodontal parameters were recorded:
1. Plaque index (Silness and Loe 1964)
2. Gingival index (Loe and Silness 1963)
After clinical examination, alginate impression of the maxillary and mandibular jaws were taken in stock metal tray and poured in dental stone, according to the manufacturer’s instructions to obtain the study model of the patient. On the study model impression following parameters were measured
1. Gingival angle
Gingival zenith angle
Results- The results of the present studyshowed that difference between gingival angle and gingival zenith angle ingroup I and group II as well as for males and females were highlysignificant.The mean values of gingival angle of group I for central incisor ,lateral incisor and canine were 93.17 ± 4.37, 91.09 ±4.59 and 88.92 ± 4.85 respectively and for group II were 91.73 ± 4.29, 89.90 ±4.24 and 88.16 ± 4.24 respectively for males. The mean values ofgingival angle of group I for central incisor , lateral incisor and canine were85.06 ± 5.15, 83.15 ± 4.96, 81.26 ± 4.96 respectivelyand for group II were 84.42 ± 5.74, 82.58 ± 5.42 and 80.77 ± 5.28 respectivelyfor females.The mean values of gingival zenith angle of group I and group IIwere 155.53 ± 3.34, 155.89 ± 2.54 for 1st quadrant and 156.41 ± 3.01, 156.46 ±2.65 respectively for males. The mean values of gingival zenith angle of groupI and group II were 147.76 ± 2.68, 146.93 ± 3.08 for 1st quadrant and 148.64 ±2.91,147.87 ± 2.98 respectively for females.
