A study to correlate the thickness of gum and jaw bone type with the thickness of nose air space lining

Not yet recruiting

Conditions: Healthy volunteers with the presence of maxillary first or second molar tooth

Registration Number: CTRI/2023/10/058916

Lead Sponsor: Veeramallu Nageswari

Brief Summary: The main aim of the study is to evaluate the correlation between periodontal phenotype and Schneiderian membrane thickness in relation to maxillary posteriors. A total of 36 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be selected from outpatient department of Periodontics and Implantology, Vishnu Dental college, Bhimavaram.

Clinical parameters:

1. Gingival thickness(GT)

2. width of keratinized tissue(WKT).

Radiological parameters:

3.Schneiderian membrane thickness in maxillary posteriors.

4.Thickness of the labial plate of the alveolar crest (TLPAC) will be assessed.

Correlation between the periodontal phenotype and Schneiderian membrane thickness in relation to maxillary posteriors will be evaluated.
