Gingival thickness differs between individuals, and is associated with age, gender, and location on the dental arch. Different gingival phenotypes exist in the human population according to the thickness of gingiva. Similar information on gingival phenotypes in dogs is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the thickness of the gingiva in dogs and its relation to age, gender, and location on the dental arch. For this study, 48 dogs of comparable size (40-cm at withers) were divided into three groups according to their age as follows: &lt; 2-years of age; 2 to 8-years of age; &gt; 8-years of age. Gingival thickness was measured in both the mandible and maxilla using a transgingival probing technique. The graded probe was inserted midway into the attached gingiva at the level of each tooth class region. Young and middle aged dogs had significantly thicker gingiva (1.67 \u00b1 0.17 mm and 1.68 \u00b10.18 mm, respectively) compared with older dogs (1.54 \u00b1 0.16 mm). There was no significant difference in gingival thickness based on location or gender. Generally, the gingiva was thicker at the level of large teeth such as canine and carnassial teeth. Regions of thinner gingiva at the level of incisor and premolar teeth correlated with the regions of highest prevalence of periodontal disease found in previous studies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/089875640802500211","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,28]],"date-time":"2016-04-28T05:34:12Z","timestamp":1461821652000},"page":"106-109","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Gingival Thickness in Dogs: Association with Age, Gender, and Dental Arch Location"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Michal","family":"Kyllar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Institute of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences Brno, Palackeho 1\/3 CZ-612 42 Brno, Czech Republic; and the Institute of Histology and Embryology, (Witter), Department of Pathobiology, University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna, Veterin\u00e4rplatz 1, A-1210 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kirsti","family":"Witter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Institute of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences Brno, Palackeho 1\/3 CZ-612 42 Brno, Czech Republic; and the Institute of Histology and Embryology, (Witter), Department of Pathobiology, University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna, Veterin\u00e4rplatz 1, A-1210 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-089875640802500211","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-051x.2000.027006431.x"},{"key":"bibr2-089875640802500211","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.1996.tb00621.x"},{"key":"bibr3-089875640802500211","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.1997.tb01186.x"},{"key":"bibr4-089875640802500211","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.1991.tb01124.x"},{"key":"bibr5-089875640802500211","unstructured":"Seibert J, Lindhe J.
