Un método asistido por ordenador para evaluar tejido blando de la cavidad oral de al menos un sujeto, quecomprende: identificar un margen gingival (710, 910, 1110) de al menos una imagen (420) de tejido gingival;crear una banda gingival (715, 915, 1115), incluyendo la banda gingival el margen gingival (710, 910, 1110) yun límite final (725, 1125) y dividir la banda gingival en al menos una subbanda gingival (1120), y en donde la al menos una subbandagingival es además subdividida en una cuadrícula de células (1135), asociando al menos un valor de color concada célula, determinándose el valor de color a partir de la imagen del tejido gingival, y en donde el al menosun valor de color asociado con cada célula se analiza, y en donde la subbanda gingival incluye un límite desubbanda, que se coloca generalmente en paralelo al margen gingival, y en donde el análisis comprendecalcular la homogeneidad del color gingival. A system and method employing image analysis may provide an objective measure of the state of gingival tissue health. A region of analysis on an image of gingival tissue may be divided into pixels. Each pixel may have an associated color made up of component R, G and B values. A user may obtain an objective measurement of oral cavity soft tissue health by determining an objective measurement of the component color values of a gingival tissue image region and performing statistical analysis on the color values.
