ABSTRACT:
Introduction - Periodontal pathology in children and young adults hasits own peculiarities based on the age-specific dynamic changes in the oral environment during the two dentitions.
Aim - Investigation of the depth of the gingival sulcus in various tooth groups during the period of tooth eruption in healthy children.
Tasks:
1. Determining the maximum depth of the gingival sulcus (GS) during probing according to tooth group and degree of tooth eruption;
2. Comparative analysis of gingival sulcus depth between the average ages for each tooth group according to the degree of the eruption.
Material and Methods - The object of the study were 30 children (15 girls and 15 boys) between 6 and 14 years old, without systemic disease and antibiotic treatment in the last 3 months, without gingivitis (up to 25% Papilla Bleeding index - Saxer & Mulheman) and good oral hygiene. The children were clinically tested - tooth status; stages of the permanent teeth eruption (up to 1/3 of the clinical crown, between 1/3 and 2/3, over 2/3, in occlusion contact); gingival sulcus depth. Data were processed statistically (SPSS 19).
Results - At the onset of the eruption the depth of GS is 2.34 mm to 2.86 mm in various tooth groups, and upon occlusal contact, the depth of GS is 2.03 to 2.35 mm. During the various stages of the eruption, in the group of molars and premolars, the depth of GS remains relatively stable. The changes of GS depth in incisors and canines are more dynamic.
