The children had good oral hygiene and no history of systemic disease. They were clinically examined &amp;ndash; their dental statuses were taken, stages of permanent teeth eruption (up to 1\/3 of the clinical crown, between 1\/3 and 2\/3, over 2\/3, in occlusion contact), and their gingival sulcus depth was measured at 6 distovestibular, vestibular, mesiovestibular, mesiolingual, lingual, and distolingual sites using an electronic probe Parometer (Orange). It was concluded that the one with the highest value would be considered the maximum depth of the sulcus.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> The gingival sulcus depth in fully erupted teeth is very similar to that in healthy adults (2.20 &amp;ndash; 0.49 mm). The change of sulcus depth in incisors and canines has a variation of 1.5 mm, which at the end of eruption is close to those in adults. Maximum sulcus depth for molars, premolars and incisors was measured distovestibularly, and for canines &amp;ndash; mesiovestibularly.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion: <\/jats:bold>At the various stages of eruption, the depth of the gingival sulcus plausibly decreases in all tooth types, and by the end of eruption it reaches a depth similar to that of the adult standard. Most indicative in regard to depth are the vestibular probing point.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3897\/folmed.62.e47567","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,30]],"date-time":"2020-06-30T18:18:45Z","timestamp":1593541125000},"page":"302-307","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Depth of Gingival Sulcus in Healthy Children with Erupting Permanent Teeth"],"prefix":"10.3897","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"Nadezhda","family":"Mitova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maya","family":"Rashkova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2258","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,30]]},"container-title":["Folia Medica"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/foliamedica.bg\/article\/47567\/download\/pdf\/","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/foliamedica.bg\/article\/47567\/download\/xml\/","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/foliamedica.bg\/article_preview.php?id=47567&skip_redirect=1","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,30]],"date-time":"2020-06-30T18:18:46Z","timestamp":1593541126000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/foliamedica.bg\/article\/47567\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,30]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,30]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3897\/folmed.62.e47567","relation":{},"ISSN":["1314-2143","0204-8043"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1314-2143","type":"electronic"},{"value":"0204-8043","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,30]]}}}
