Inclusion Criteria: * Non-smokers ≥18 years old * Periodontal health with ≤10% bleeding on full mouth probing. * Participants with no history of systemic diseases or consistent medication use. * Participants with teeth present in the maxillary and mandibular anterior and posterior regions, with a measured clinical attachment level (CAL) ≤ 3 mm; without buccal attachment loss or gingival inflammation * Participants with no evidence of dental caries, crown shape alterations, or restorations affecting the occlusal edge in the maxillary and mandibular teeth, and no radiographic evidence of bone loss * At least one tooth in maxillary and mandibular segments, representing molar and premolar regions * No tooth loss due to periodontal reasons Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant or lactating women * Participants who have received or are receiving orthodontic treatment and using removable dentures or orthodontic devices * Participants with a history of periodontitis or periodontal surgery involving teeth * Presence of abrasion or erosion in teeth

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

What they're measuring

Evaluation of the correlation between KGW, CW, CL PH parameters of GT measured in "mm" with a digital caliper with 0.001 mm precision in 1200 teeth in 50 participants using Spearman correlation analysis.

Timeframe: 1 month

Evaluation of the effect of GT on keratinized gingival width, measured in "mm" by digital caliper with a precision of 0.001 mm, both by binary logistic regression analysis of 50 participants.

Timeframe: From September 2022 to May 2023

Examining the effect of age and gender of 50 participants on the gingival thickness measured in mm using binary logistic regression analysis.

Timeframe: 1 month
