Abstract
Objectives: the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between gingival width with respect to the underlying bone thickness in mandibular anterior sextant.Material and metods: 40 CBCT were included. Buccal bone thickness was measured at 3, 4.5, 6, 8 mm apical to the cement–enamel junction (CEJ). In addition, the apicoincisal gingival width was measured.Results: at 3 mm from the cement-enamel junction, the buccal bone plate was in 69.4% of cases, the average thickness of buccal bone plate for all teeth was less than 1.0 mm, at the level of 4.5 and 6 mm in 30,6% of cases “Absence” of the external cortical plate, the thickness of which gradually increased in the apical direction (8 mm). When the efficiency is less than 2 mm, the effect of the absence of the external cortical plate according to CBCT data was more often observed.Conclusion: in this study revealed the relationship between the gingival width and the anatomical features of the buccal bone plate.
