This study aimed to confirm the presence of gingival inflammation through image analysis of the papillary gingiva using intra-oral photographs (IOPs) before and after orthodontic treatment and to confirm the possibility of using gingival image analysis for gingivitis screening. Five hundred and eighty-eight (n = 588) gingival sites from the IOPs of 98 patients were included. Twenty-five participants who had completed their orthodontic treatments and were aged between 20 and 37 were included. Six points on the papillary gingiva were selected in the maxillary and mandibular anterior incisors. The red/green (R/G) ratio values were obtained for the selected gingival images and the modified gingival index (GI) was compared. The change in the R/G values during the orthodontic treatment period appeared in the order of before orthodontic treatment (BO), mid-point of orthodontic treatment (MO), three-quarters of the way through orthodontic treatment (TO), and immediately after debonding (IDO), confirming that it was similar to the change in the GI. The R/G value of the gingiva in the image correlated with the GI. Therefore, it could be used as a major index for gingivitis diagnosis using images
