Evaluation of Thickness of Attached Gingiva at Common Mini Implant Insertion Sites

Author: LICHI SOLANKI, DR.RAVINDRA KUMAR JAIN
Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the thickness of attached gingiva in the posterior areas of the oral cavity in both the arches between adults and children so as to be able to use the most appropriate length of the mini implants in an attempt to reduce the failure rates due to soft tissue inflammation or infection. 12 children (14-18 years) and 12 adults (18- 40 years) seeking orthodontic treatment with all permanent teeth erupted, with no gingival problems included in this study. Measurements were done 4-6 mm from the the Cementoenamel junction (CEJ) in the maxillary 2nd premolar- 1st molar, 1st molar- 2nd molar region and as apical as possible in the mandibular 2nd premolar- 1st molar, 1st molar- 2nd molar region. An endodontic spreader was used to measure thickness of attached gingiva until resistance to bone was met. This thickness was measured using a vernier calliper. The mean thickness of attached gingiva in children was higher than in adults. Therefore, it is advisable to use longer necks mini implants (2 mm) in children or adolescents In adults the mean thickness was 1.3-1.8mm. Hence necks of 1.5 mm will be sufficient.
