Prevalencia de biotipos gingivales según el Somatotipo en estudiantes de la UCSG Semestre A-­2017

Abstract:

Introduction: The gingival biotype has an important impact for the survival of the different dental treatments. Various authors assure that each gingival biotype has a different result in the presence of external movements. We must have a clear understanding of the behavior of this, so in subsequent investigations can be known adequately the management of gingival biotypes. Furthermore, for the vcorrect interpretation and accurate diagnostic, the person’s somatotype should be also analyzed and this could be ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph that is classified according to its clinical characteristics. The reason of our research is to observe the relationship that exists between the gingival biotype and the somatotype. Materials and methods: The cross-sectional analytical study was performed on 107 UCSG dental students, randomly selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The gingival biotype was determined by the transparency or not of probe method through the gingival sulcus in the teeth 11, 12, and 13. The somatotype was determined by the Sheldon photographic method with a full body shot and classifying the clinical characteristics of each somatotype. Results: 107 subjects, 35 men and 72 women were analyzed. 57% of all the subjects had thick biotype, 43% had thin biotype. A 39% of the subjects showed an ectomorph somatotype, 38% a mesomorph somatotype, and 22% an endomorph somatotype. Relating the two variables, of ectomorph somatotype a 90% = thin biotype and 10% = thick biotype, of endomorph a 100% = thick biotype, the mesomorph biotype an 80% = thick biotype and 20% thin biotype. Conclusion: The more prevalent somatotype was the ectomorph and the somatotype that was found the most was the thick one. Concluyendo de esta manera que no hay una relación clara entre el somatotipo y el biotipo gingival.
