Inter-Examiner Reproducibility of Measuring Gingival Recession Using Three Techniques
Abstract
Introduction: The periodontal probe (PP) is considered the gold standard for measuring gingival recession (GR), yet there are numerous opportunities to introduce variability into those measurements. One such potential scenario is diminished reproducibility when different providers assess GR at the same site. Given the availability of clinical alternatives such as the Castroviejo caliper (CC) and digital scanning (DS), a comparative analysis is warranted to challenge the established utility of the PP.
