The Effect of Periodontal Health on Smile

Investigation of the Effect of Periodontal Health on Smile Parameters: a Cross-Sectional

Anamnesis was taken from 108 patients aged 18-33 who applied to the clinic and met the inclusion criteria. Photographs of the patients' smiles were taken without any measurement. Plaque , gingival index , bleeding on probing, pocket depth measurements, clinical attachment, and gingival recession levels were measured, respectively. Patients were divided into two groups: peri-implant health and gingivitis. Gingival thickness and keratinized gingival width were also measured. In addition, the smile aesthetic index, style, type, and stage were also determined using the smile classification system. Gingival visibility was measured in mm from the photographs taken.
