Gingival Recession, Gingival Bleeding, and Dental Calculus in Adults 30 Years of Age and Older in the United States, 1988‐1994

Abstract: Dental calculus, gingival bleeding, and gingival recession are common in the U.S. adult population. In addition to their unfavorable effect on esthetics and self-esteem, these conditions also are associated with destructive periodontal diseases and root caries. Appropriate measures to prevent or control these conditions are desirable, and this may also be effective in improving the oral health of the U.S. adult population.

“…This is in agreement with other studies. 2,21 Usually, the lateral incisors maintain a more lingual position to the central incisors during eruption. A more pronounced labial position of the central incisors might result in a thin labial bone plate and apical migration of the marginal gingiva.…”

“…1 The buccal surfaces of central mandibular incisors and maxillary molars are the most frequently affected sites. 2 The prevalence of gingival recession is gender and population dependent, increases with age, 2,3 and is shown to be associated with malocclusions and individually malpositioned teeth. 4 The etiology of gingival recession is considered to be multifactorial.…”

“…Gingival recessions are the most common aesthetic gingival problems, easy to be perceived by the patients and reaching more than 50% of the population in Brazil and USA (1,2). Thus, periodontal plastic surgeries for root coverage have become the most frequently sought by patients (3).…”

“…Epidemiological studies confirm a frequent occurrence of gingival recession in the adult population, and its prevalence increases with age. They also reveal that gingival recessions are found more frequently on the buccal surfaces [2][3][4][5][6][7]. Clinical problems related to gingival recession are as follows: dentin hypersensitivity, higher risk of non-carious cervical lesions, root caries and elongation of the tooth crown resulting in esthetic problems, especially when the anterior teeth are affected.…”
