|
It has been speculated that gingival dimensions may determine initiation and course of recession and plaque-induced peridontal diseases in man
|
True
|
|
|
What was the purpose of this study?
|
To investigate the thickness of the gingiva in dogs and its relation to age, gender, and location on the dental arch
|
|
|
What technique was used to obtain the data?
|
Transgingival probing Technique
|
|
|
What were the findings?
|
Young and middle aged dogs had singificantly thicker gingiva compared with older dogs.
However, tooth location nor gender made a significant difference in gingival thickness |
|
|
Regions of thinner gingiva at the level of incisor teeth and premolar teeth correlated with the regions of highest prevalence of peridontal disease found in previous studies
|
True
|
|
|
What may cause the gingiva to become thinner as a pet ages?
|
may be related to changes in oral epithelium associated with aging, especially thinning of the epithelium and diminished keratinization
|
|
|
In a study in humans was there a sex difference between gingival thickness?
|
Yes, thinner gingiva was found in females in 1 study
|
|
|
Greater gingival thickness was found in individual tooth regions
|
Greater gingival thickness measurements were obtained in the area of the canine, maxillary 4th premolar, and mandibular 1st molar teeth
|
|
|
Where was the thinnest gingival region in dogs?
|
Incisors and rostral premolar teeth---these areas seem to have the higher incidence of gingival recession in association with periodontal disease
|
|
|
Gingival thickness is a predictor of the clinical outcome of certain procedures in periodontal surgery
|
Gingival thickness contributes to the severity of perio dz
