Resumo
The objective of the present study was to assess cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) as a diagnostic method for determination
of gingival thickness (GT) and distance between gingival margin and vestibular (GMBC-V) and interproximal bone crests (GMBC-
I). GT and GMBC-V were measured in 348 teeth and GMBC-I was measured in 377 tooth regions of 29 patients with gummy smile.
GT was assessed using transgingival probing (TP), ultrasound (US), and CBCT, whereas GMBC-V and GMBC-I were assessed by
transsurgical clinical evaluation (TCE) and CBCT. Statistical analyses used independent t-test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and
simple linear regression. Difference was observed for GT: between TP, CBCT, and US considering all teeth; between TP and CBCT
and between TP and US in incisors and canines; between TP and US in premolars and first molars. TP presented the highest means
for GT. Positive correlation and linear regression were observed between TP and CBCT, TP and US, and CBCT and US. Difference
was observed for GMBC-V and GMBC-I using TCE and CBCT, considering all teeth. Correlation and linear regression results were
significant for GMBC-V and GMBC-I in incisors, canines, and premolars. CBCT is an effective diagnostic method to visualize and
measure GT, GMBC-V, and GMBC-I.
