Abstract: 87 periodontally healthy young volunteers paticipated in the study.4 clinical parameters were measured:Gingival thickness (GT),gingival width (GW),papilla height (PH) and crown width/crown length ratio (CW/CL).Cluster analysis was employed to identify the periodontal phenotypes.As a result,the periodontal phenotype of maxillary anterior tooth was classified as thin fan type (Ⅰ,n =31),thick and wide type(Ⅲ,n =8) and intermediate type(Ⅱ,n =48) in Han Chinese.
