Prevalance and clinical characteristics of gingival recession in Greek young adults: A cross‐sectional study

Abstract

Objective: The current cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the prevalence of gingival recession (REC) in a sample of young individuals. In addition, the association with several risk factors was examined.Materials & methods: A 104 subjects, aged 18-30 years old, were randomly enrolled in the study. Participants were requested to fill in a simple structured questionnaire in order to provide information on dental hygiene habits, educational level, smoking and history of orthodontic treatment. Afterwards, all the included individuals were subjected to a thorough clinical periodontal examination including gingival recession (REC), gingival biotype, plaque levels and gingival bleeding index (GBI) assessment. Results:The mean prevalence of REC in the studied population surpassed 50% with an equal distribution among females and males. The most common teeth associated with REC were the lower left canine and left 1st premolar. Among the examined variables, only the bleeding index was found to be associated with the presence of REC.Conclusions: Gingival recession was a prevalent condition among young individuals.Gingival inflammation was found to be the most significant factor affecting the incidence of REC.

Association Between Gingival Recession and Its Biotype Among South Indian Population- A Retrospective Study

“…This finding supports the widely held belief that a sufficient width of keratinized gingiva is critical in preventing gingival recession at a specific site. Similar findings were observed by Mamta Singh et al This study showed thin gingival biotype more when compared to thick gingival biotype (41). In another previously done research, the thin gingival biotype was found to be 43.25 percent prevalent, while the thick gingival biotype was found to be 56.75 percent prevalent whereas in our study it was 43.39% of thick and 56.6% of thin gingival biotype (42).…”

Prevalence and risk indicators of buccal gingival recessions in a Moroccan periodontitis patients: A retrospective study

“…Nevertheless, in our work, no association was demonstrated between gender and the presence of GRs. These findings are in agreement with the data by Fragkioudakis el al ( Fragkioudakis et al, 2021 ) that reported no statistical difference between females and males in a young patients sample. Data from our work showed a statistically significant positive association between age and the presence of GRs.…”

“…However, other surveys showed a higher prevalence in the upper premolar and molar area ( Serino et al, 1994 , Röthlisberger et al, 2007 , Slutzkey and Levin, 2008 , Vignoletti et al, 2020 ). Fragkioudakis et al ( Fragkioudakis et al, 2021 ) showed that lower left canines and left fist premolars were the most affected teeth by GRs.…”

Hispanic adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus using lipid-lowering agents have better periodontal health than non-users

“…Although CAL on the direct buccal and lingual may be due to gingival recession, we included these measurements in the data analysis since periodontal inflammation, a focus of our study, is one of the primary factors contributing to gingival recession. [62][63][64][65][66] Moreover, two other approaches were utilized, [67][68][69][70] which included the increase in number of teeth with PPD ⩾ 4 mm and BOP on the same tooth, 67 or increase in number of teeth with CAL ⩾ 3 mm and PPD ⩾ 4 mm at the same site 68 to assess the associations. The periodontal parameter of 'having a site with CAL ⩾ 3 mm and PPD ⩾ 4 mm at the same site' would help to reduce, at least partially, the potential confounding of gingival journals.sagepub.com/home/taj TherapeuTic advances in chronic disease recession at the buccal and lingual sites, although that would create a new bias with missing of sites with CAL but no pocket depth at the interproximal areas.…”
