Diagnosis of extent of gingival recession in patients with periodontal disease Oral Health

Interventions
There is no randomisation, all participants receive the same intervention, a 3D intra oral scan. Their gingivial recession will be measured manually and from the images captured on the scan. Participa

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Gum recession: the distance between the cemento-enamel junction to the lowest point of the gingiva, measured in millimetres using a UNC-15 periodontal probe at each study visit, expected to be determined at baseline, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Pocket probing depth, measured in millimetres using a UNC-15 periodontal probe 2. Presence or absence of dental plaque at four sites per tooth, measured using the O’Leary plaque index 3. Presence or absence of bleeding on probing (six sites probed per tooth), measured according to the methods of Ainamo and Bay, using a periodontal probe which is applied to the base of the pocket These are all expected to be measured at baseline, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 months | — |
