RESUMO
Um dos elementos essenciais para alcançar a estética do sorriso é o fenótipo e o contorno gengival que, com suas arquiteturas, in- fluenciam no tamanho das coroas dentais. O termo "fenótipo periodontal" foi padronizado no Workshop Mundial para a Classificação das Doenças e Condições Periodontais e Peri-Implantares de 2017, porém esse tema já havia sido abordado outras vezes, com outras nomenclaturas. A avaliação dos diferentes fenótipos periodontais é fundamental, pois nos dão informações relacionadas às características dos tecidos periodontais e às formas dentárias, além de tornar o tratamento mais previsível, podendo evitar problemas como: trau- ma, inflamação e outras complicações clínicas e cirúrgicas. O objetivo desta revisão de literatura é fazer uma pesquisa a respeito do tema fenótipo periodontal por meio dos artigos mais relevantes entre o período de 2017 a 2021, evidenciando sua classificação, prevalência e formas de diagnóstico. Existem várias formas de diagnosticar o fenótipo periodontal, sendo a transparência do sulco gengival por meio da sonda milimetrada a preconizada pelo Workshop Mundial. Podemos observar uma prevalência do fenótipo fino pelo gênero feminino, e o fenótipo espesso pelo gênero masculino. Ainda faltam mais evidências científicas para o correto relacionamento do fenótipo periodontal com outros fatores como idade, tabagismo, hábitos de higiene, alimentação e má oclusão.
One of the essential elements to achieving smile esthetics is the phenotype and gingival contour, which with their architecture influence the size of dental crowns. The term "periodontal phenotype" was standardized in the 2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri- Implant Diseases and Conditions. However, much has been said about the topic, with other nomenclatures. Evaluating different periodontal phenotypes is essential, as they provide us with information related to the characteristics of periodontal tissues and dental forms. In addition to making the treatment more predictable, it can avoid problems such as trauma, inflammation, and other clinical and surgical complications. The purpose of this literature review is to research the topic, periodontal phenotype, through the most relevant articles between the period 2017 to 2021, showing its classification, prevalence, and forms of diagnosis. There are several ways to diagnose the periodontal phenotype, and the one recommended by the World Workshop is the transparency of the gingival sulcus using the millimeter probe. We can observe a prevalence of the thin phenotype for the female gender, whereas the thick phenotype is prevalent for the male gender. There is still a lack of scientific evidence for the correct relationship of the periodontal phenotype with other factors such as age, smoking, hygiene habits, diet and, malocclusion
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to evaluate the periodontal status and the presence of opportunistic oral lesions in human immunodeficiency virus-positive (HIV+) patients under highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and their association with cluster of differentiation (CD)4+ and CD4+ nadir T-cell counts and viral load levels. METHODS: Clinical periodontal parameters and the presence of opportunistic oral lesions along with records of CD4+ counts and viral load levels were evaluated in 29 individuals (16 females; mean age: 42.7 years) with previous serologic diagnosis of HIV, from the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome program of the Health Center of Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. RESULTS: All individuals presented gingivitis or periodontitis. A higher non-significant prevalence of periodontitis was found in smokers (93.8%) compared with non-smokers (76.9%). A significant weak positive correlation was observed between CD4+ counts and missing teeth (ρ = 0.380, P <0.05), CD4+ nadir and periodontal diagnosis (ρ = 0.418, P <0.005), and CD4+ nadir and moderate probing depth (PD) (ρ = 0.424, P <0.05). When only non-smokers were analyzed, a significant moderate positive association was found between viral load and moderate clinical attachment level (CAL) (ρ = 0.638, P <0.05), CD4+ nadir and diagnosis (ρ = 0.586, P <0.05), and CD4+ nadir and moderate CAL (ρ = 0.680, P <0.05). Analysis considering only smokers found no correlations between serologic parameters and demographic or clinical parameters. CONCLUSIONS: The current investigation demonstrates that HIV+ individuals under HAART presents a high prevalence of mild to moderate periodontal disease. Viral load levels, CD4+ nadir, and CD4+ counts may present a weak to moderate correlation to the number of missing teeth, periodontal diagnosis, moderate PD, and moderate CAL, which may also reflect some effect of these systemic conditions on the periodontal status.
