Comparison of Ultrasonography, <scp>CBCT</scp> , Transgingival Probing, Colour‐Coded and Periodontal Probe Transparency With Histological Gingival Thickness: A Diagnostic Accuracy Study Revisiting Thick Versus Thin Gingiva
While histology remains the GT reference standard, US, CBCT and TGP achieved clinically acceptable accuracy. US showed the highest agreement with histology, followed by TGP and CBCT. The study supports US as the most practical non-invasive tool, although CBCT and TGP remain viable options. Further clinical validation is recommended, acknowledging the limitations of cadaveric models in reflecting in vivo conditions.
