Abstract

Background. Restoring large defects with proximal caries extending below the cemento-enamel junction and cavity margins located beneath the gingival tissues represents a very common clinical situation. The aim of this article is to propose a clinical classification of the localization subgingival margins of cavity.Material and methods. Diagnosis is carried out by periodontal probe perpendicular to the long axis of the tooth in the deepest point of the cavity’s margin. To describe the localization subgingival margins of cavity we use exponent which value is equal to the distance (integer number expressed in millimeters) of the level of epithelial attachment to the margin of the cavity. Three periodontal examiners, with >10 years of periodontal practice, were required to attend a calibration session aimed at the validation of the proposed classification. Results. The intrarater and interrater agreement among the localization subgingival margins of cavity: for intrarater agreement ranged from 0.74 to 0.95 (almost perfect agreement), whereas interrater agreement ranged from 0.26 to 0.59 (moderate agreement).Conclusions. The classification the localization subgingival margins of cavity is useful for reaching a more precise diagnosis.
