Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Patients with gingivitis and healthy controls will be enrolled. All patients will undergo ultra-high frequency ultrasonographic scans (70 MHz) of gingival tissue on three areas per dental arch (anterior, middle right, middle left). Gingival thickness, echogenicity, and vascularization assessed through resisitive index will be evaluated.
