Gingival Phenotype and its Role in Dentistry

Öz

Gingiva is one of the important structures of the oral cavity with its unique features. When the literature is examined, it is seen that the gingival phenotype is defined differently. Each gingival description has its own characteristics and its own advantages and disadvantages. This definition is made by interventional and non-interventional methods. There are positive and negative aspects of the gingival structure in the dental clinic. Gingival structure varies in conditions such as age, gender, alveolar bone structure, tooth structure, facial structure and orthodontic conditions. However, there is still no consensus on many issues and terminology. Gingival structure gains importance in periodontal, restorative, prosthetic and implant applications. In this review, the gingival phenotype and its role in clinical practice will be discussed.

Diş Eti Fenotipi ve Diş Hekimliğinde Oynadığı Rol

Öz

Diş eti taşıdığı kendine has özellikleri ile oral yapının önemli temel yapı taşlarından birini oluşturmaktadır. Literatür incelendiğinde diş eti fenotipinin farklı şekillerde tanımlandığı görülmektedir. Her tanımlamanın kendine has özellikleri ve kendine has avantaj ve dezavantajları vardır. Bu tanımlama girişimsel ve girişimsel olmayan yöntemler ile yapılmaktadır. Klinikte izlenen diş eti yapısının beraberinde getirdiği olumlu-olumsuz yönleri bulunmaktadır. Diş eti yapısı; yaş, cinsiyet, alveoler kemik yapısı, diş yapısı, yüz yapısı, ortodontik durumlar gibi durumlarda değişiklik göstermektedir. Ama halen birçok konuda ve terminolojide bir görüş birliği sağlanamamıştır. Periodontal, restoratif, protetik ve implant uygulamalarında diş eti yapısı önem kazanmaktadır. Bu derlemede diş eti fenotipi tartışılacak olup, fenotipin klinik uygulamalarda oynadığı rol üzerinde durulacaktır.
