Resumen:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of periodontal biotypes
according to the teeth evaluated, the gender of the examined individuals and the
probing depth parameters, keratinized mucosa and attached gingiva in students of
Dentistry course at the Federal University of Campina Grande. The periodontal biotype
was evaluated in 78 students, of which 40 were female gender and 38 male gender,
with more than18 years. The clinical parameters indicated that plan and thick
periodontal types were more prevalent in male gender (47.4%) and the thin and
scalloped biotype was more frequent in female gender (22.5%). By classification
Maynard and Wilson (1980) the type III periodontium had female gender predominance
(30.0%) compared to male gender (13.2%). The results of periodontal types per tooth
showed that most are type I predominantly in the upper central incisors (73.1%).
However, there was no significant association between gender and periodontal types,
as well as teeths in relation to periodontal type (p> 0.05). By relating periodontal
biotypes of Maynard method and Wilson (1980) with visual methods Seibert and
Lindhe (1989), Olsson et al. (1993) and De Rouck et al. (2009), significant association
was found (p <0.001) among individuals with thick and plane and type I periodontium.
Through correct identification of periodontal biotype, the professional can determine
the best treatment and its predictability, without prejudice to the patient.
