Risk Assessment for Buccal Gingival Recession Defects in an Adult Population

Abstract

This study indicates that the risk factors for gingival recessions are similar to the traditional risk factors for periodontitis. However, the present model indicates that diabetes, increase of the body mass index, and alcohol intake are not associated with gingival recessions.

The Influence of Occlusal Loading on the Periodontal Tissue. A Literature Review. Part II: Occlusion and Recession, Occlusion and Healthy Periodontium

“…Numerous population studies have been conducted to identify potential etiological factors of gingival recession [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. The following morphological and anatomical factors (osseus, gingival and dental): thin alveolar bone on the buccal surface, bone dehiscences, thin gingival phenotype, high frenal attachments, shallow oral vestibule or incorrect position of teeth in the arch are the main causes of this pathology.…”

“…The following morphological and anatomical factors (osseus, gingival and dental): thin alveolar bone on the buccal surface, bone dehiscences, thin gingival phenotype, high frenal attachments, shallow oral vestibule or incorrect position of teeth in the arch are the main causes of this pathology. In addition to these predispositions, there are triggers (precipitating factors) such as bacterial plaque and subgingival calculus, mechanical trauma (due to an improper technique of brushing teeth, its frequency or habits like chronic impaction of foreign bodies against the gingiva), iatrogenic factors -orthodontic (tooth displacement in the buccal direction), prosthetic (fixed prosthodontic restorations range exceeding biological width), periodontal (often carried out scaling) and surgical (resection methods in the treatment of periodontitis) treatments [6,[8][9][10]. Smoking (chemical trauma) and level of education are other risk indicators [4,[9][10][11][12].…”

“…The analysis of epidemiological data employing linear and multivariable regression models was used to assess the relationship between potential factors and the occurrence of gingival recession [3,4,[9][10][11][12][13]. The following variables showed statistically significant correlation with the presence of the recession: age [3,4,10,11,13], masculine gender [4,10,11,13], smoking [4,[9][10][11][12][13], the extent of gingival inflammation (inverse correlation) [3,9], and the presence of dental plaque [4,11,12].…”

The introduction of the coefficient of determination (R 2 ) in the multiple regression analysis helps identify what part of the dependent variable is explained by the model.…”

Étude de faisabilité d’un greffon biofabriqué pour traiter des récessions parodontales

“…Elle touche 85 % de la population adulte et favorise des hyperesthésies thermiques, des sensibilités au brossage, des caries radiculaires, des lésions cervicales d'origine non carieuse et des gênes esthétiques [2]. Le traitement repose sur l'élimination de l'étiologie, puis sur la régénération tissulaire gingivale par une intervention chirurgicale.…”
