Evaluation of Periodontal Phenotype Using CBCT, Computed Aided Design (CAD) and Prosthetic-driven Implant Planing (PDIP).

Measurements were performed at upper canines and incisors in thirty periodontally healthy patients. The CBCT/CAD technology along with the PDIP software were used to measure crestal (CGT in mm ), supracrestal (SGT in mm) and free gingival thickness (FGT in mm ) as well as alveolar crest-gingival margin (AC-GM) and cemento-enamel junction (AC-CEJ) distance and the TLPAC localized 2, 4 and 8mm apically than the edge of the AC. Width of keratinized tissue (WKT) were measured using a periodontal probe. For each patient, the periodontal phenotype was evaluated on the basis of coronal width/length (CW/CL in percentages) ratio of both upper central incisors. For each tooth, the gingival phenotype was assessed on the basis of the GT measurement( in mm).
