RESEARCH PROJECT

Influence of Facial Index on Gingival Esthetics

A gender-based evaluation exploring the biological links between facial form, lip size, and the "Pink Esthetics" of the anterior dentition.

200
Subjects
18-35
Age Range
1:1
M:F Ratio

Study Objectives

  • ◉Determine the prevalence of facial types (Leptoprosopic, Mesoprosopic, Euryprosopic).
  • ◉Correlate facial index with Gingival Thickness (GT) and Width of Attached Gingiva (WAG).
  • ◉Analyze the impact of tooth angulation and lip size on gingival architecture.

Facial Phenotypes

The study classified subjects based on Facial Index (height-to-width ratio). Understanding these distributions is crucial.

Facial Index Distribution

n=200

Definitions

Leptoprosopic

Long Face (>90). Thinner gingival biotypes.

Mesoprosopic

Average Face (85-89.9). Balanced distribution.

Euryprosopic

Broad Face (<84.9). Thicker gingiva.

Gingival Architecture

Gingival Thickness (mm)

Comparison of mean gingival thickness.

Clinical Insight

Males generally exhibit thicker gingiva (High GT).

Significance

Significant difference (p < 0.05) found.

Key Correlations & Findings

Facial Index vs. Thickness

Longer face (Leptoprosopic) correlates with thinner gingiva.

r = -0.65 (Strong)

Lip Width vs. Attached Gingiva

Wider lips correlate with a narrower zone of attached gingiva.

r = -0.45 (Moderate)

Gingival Zenith Angle

Females show higher GZA values (distal zenith placement).

Prevalence: High
