In addition to measuring the depth of the pardontal pocket, the probe can be used for other purposes: [13] Measurement of clinical loss of attachment; Measurement of gingival margin recession; Measurement of the width of the attached gingiva; Measurement of the size of lesion elements in the oral cavity; Evaluation of bleeding on probing
Gum recession is a common problem in adults over the age of 40, but it may also occur starting in adolescence, or around the age of 10. It may exist with or without concomitant decrease in crown-to-root ratio (recession of alveolar bone). 85% of the world population has gingival recession on at least one tooth with denuded root surface ≥1.0 ...
Class IV: Recession that extends to or beyond the mucogingival junction, with either loss of interproximal clinical attachment or tooth rotation that is severe A new classification has been proposed to classify gingival and palatal recessions.
The probe is "walked around" measuring the depth of the gingival crevices/periodontal pockets (the gap between the tooth and the gums, "below the gumline") with a force of approximately 20 - 25 gm (20 - 25 N) (about the force using when writing with a pencil). The worst finding in a sextant dictates the sextant's BPE score.
Using the mucogingival junction as the boundary demarcating the apical border of the attached gingiva, a periodontal probe is inserted into the gingival sulcus to measure how much of the keratinized gingiva coronal to the mucogingival junction is in fact attached to the underlying bone. The depth of the gingival sulcus, determined by the depth ...
Gingival retraction or gingival recession is when there is lateral movement of the gingival margin away from the tooth surface. [1] [2] It is usually termed gingival retraction as an intentional procedure, and in such cases it is performed by mechanical, chemical, or electrical means in order to perform certain dental surgery procedures.
Gingival Recession Treatment Market is Projected to Grow at a 5.4% CAGR, Hitting US$ 5.38 Billion by 2034 | Fact.MR Report Rockville, MD , Sept. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global Gingival Recession Treatment Market is projected to reach US$ 5.38 billion by the end of 2034, up from US$ 3.18 billion in 2024, according to the latest industry ...
Regardless of the etiology, when gingival hyperplasia occurs, greater than normal (the measurement in a pre-pathological state) periodontal probing measurements can be read, creating the illusion that periodontal pockets have developed. This phenomenon is also referred to as a false pocket or pseudopocket.
