  1. The gingival angle (GA) corresponds to the bone margin angle (BMA), the papilla angle (GA) corresponds to the underlying interproximal bone angle (IBA), and the papilla height (PH) corresponds to the underlying interproximal bone height (IBH). GT1 and BT1 refer to the gingival thickness and alveolar bone thickness 2 mm below the crest of the alveolar ridge, while GT2 and BT2 refer to the gingival thickness and alveolar bone thickness 4 mm below the crest of the alveolar ridge
