Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare methods of gingival biotype diagnosis; transparency of the probe, clinical measurement and cone beam computed tomography with removal of soft tissue. Methods: Thirty patients had the gingival thickness assessed in the buccal region of the dental units 11 and 21. Clinical and demographic characteristics such as age, gender, probing depth, gingival marginal position, clinical attachment level and dental morphology (crown width/crown length ratio) were investigated and correlated to gingival thicknesses obtained from the three diagnosis methods: 1) transparency of the periodontal probe through the gingival sulcus; 2) clinical method of transgingival probing through tissue with an endodontic spreader; 3) Cone Beam Computed Tomography with removal of soft tissue. Results: The average gingival thickness of the central incisors obtained by computed tomography was 1.46 mm ± 0.32 mm while the clinical average thickness was 1.32 ± 0.22 mm. Transparency tissue obtained a median of 2 (1.3-1.8, 95% CI), which means that biotype was considered thick in both units 11 and 21. The result of probe transparency was positively and significantly correlated with the thickness determined in tomographic and clinical evaluations. At the same time, the tomography and clinical measurements also showed a significant correlation between measurements. Multiple regression analysis indicated no significant impact of age, crown width/crown length ratio and periodontal parameters on gingival biotype measured by any of the diagnosis methods. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the evaluated diagnosis methods are positively correlated and can be used to determine tissue thickness on central incisors.
