Methodology: 45 subjects (27males and18 females) with age groups of 20‑35 years, 36‑50 years were included in this study. Probe transparency method was adopted to assess the biotype at the midfacial aspect of the maxillary incisors and the canines bilaterally.

Results: The association of age and gingival biotype was not significant. Study showed that thick biotype decreased with advancing age. The association of sex and gingival biotype was not significant in relation to 11, 12, 21 and 22 but significant in relation to 13 and 23. Among the female subjects, the prevalence of thick biotype in relation to 11, 12, 21 and 22 was less than males, whereas in relation to 13 and 23 the prevalence of thick biotype was high in females.

Conclusion: These findings can be utilized for determining the gingival biotype and response of gingiva to dental operative procedures.
