Popis: Background/Purpose: The objectives of this retrospective study are to analyze post-surgical gingival thickness after connective tissue grafting in the Asian population and to assess its tissue stability for up to approximately 3.5 years. Methods: A total of 111 grafted teeth and 57 nearby nongrafted teeth in 28 Asian patients who had undergone connective tissue grafting surgery were selected. Gingival thickness was measured by transgingival probing. The mean gingival thickness of the grafted teeth was compared with adjacent nongrafted teeth in the same individuals. The mean gingival thickness of the grafted teeth in different tooth types and at various time intervals were statistically analyzed. Results: The average gingival thickness following connective tissue grafting is 1.99 ± 0.62 mm compared to 0.96 ± 0.40 mm with nongrafted teeth (P
