Why we should assess gingival phenotypes in daily practice – gingival phenotype assessment tools & gingival phenotype classifications revisited
Abstract Periodontal tissue phenotypes have been recently defined as the combination of gingival phenotype (GP) – earlier reported mainly as the gingival biotype – and bone morphotype. The main focus of this summary is to describe the GP as consisting of gingival thickness (GT) and gingival width (GW). GP has
