Popis: OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to introduce a novel soft tissue thickness measurement method using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to compare the new method with ultrasonic device applications and transgingival probing measurements. METHODS Twenty-five participants (12 female, 13 male, age range, 25-51 years) were included the study. Soft tissue thickness in lateral incisor, canine, premolar, and molar regions were measured using transgingival probing (group T), ultrasonic device (group U), and CBCT scan measurements (group C). Differences and correlations between groups and agreement between measurement methods were evaluated. RESULTS Soft tissue thickness was significantly lower in group U in premolar region, but was significantly higher in molar region compared with group C and group T (P
