Evaluation of gingival biotype has become a routine procedure in periodontal examination because the type of gingival biotype can positively or negatively affect the outcome of periodontal, restorative, orthodontic and implant therapy. The aim of the study was to assess the proportion of types of gingival biotypes in patients visiting a tertiary care center in eastern Nepal.
Two hundred and fifty patients between 25 to 45 years attending the Periodontology and Oral Implantology were assessed. Gingival biotype of the patents was determined with Probe Transparency technique Results: Out 250 patients assessed, 73 patients (approximately 29.2 %) had thin gingival biotype and remaining 177 patients (approximately 70.8 %) had thick gingival biotype. The number of the male with thin biotype was 31 whereas the number of the male with thick biotype was 82. Similarly, out of 137 female, 42 had thin biotype and remaining 95 female had thick biotype. The types of biotypes were not associated with gender (p=0.67).
Thicker gingival biotype was the more common type of gingival biotype in patients attending the tertiary care center of Eastern Nepal. The occurrence of thick gingival biotype was more common in Adivasi Janajati ethnic community compared to Brahmin / Chhetri ethnic community.
评估牙龈生物型已成为牙周检查的常规程序，因为牙龈生物型的类型可以积极或消极地影响牙周、修复、正畸和种植治疗的结果。本研究的目的是评估在尼泊尔东部一家三级保健中心就诊的患者中牙龈生物型的比例。
对 250 名 25 至 45 岁的牙周病和口腔种植患者进行评估。采用探针透光技术确定患者的牙龈生物型。
在评估的 250 名患者中，73 名（约 29.2%）患者的牙龈生物型较薄，其余 177 名（约 70.8%）患者的牙龈生物型较厚。薄生物型的男性患者有 31 名，而厚生物型的男性患者有 82 名。同样，在 137 名女性中，有 42 名患者的牙龈生物型较薄，而其余 95 名女性的牙龈生物型较厚。生物型的类型与性别无关（p=0.67）。
在尼泊尔东部三级保健中心就诊的患者中，较厚的牙龈生物型是较常见的牙龈生物型。与婆罗门/切特里族社区相比，阿迪瓦西·贾纳贾蒂族社区较厚的牙龈生物型发生率更高。
