Prevalencia de recesiones gingivales asociadas a traumas mecánicos en pacientes UCSG semestre B-2017.

Abstract

Introduction: Gingival recessions are characterized by causing an aesthetic not appropriate to perception being an aesthetic problem, the progression of this pathology results in tooth loss.6 Purpose: The purpose of this study is to recognize gingival recessions at the time of clinical inspection and to determine a good diagnosis. Objective: To determine the prevalence of gingival recessions associated to mechanical traumas in patients of the UCSG semester B-2017, through a clinical inspection. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional and descriptive research study was carried out in which 81 patients with gingival recessions were analyzed, through clinical inspection, determining the possible mechanical factor. Results: 58.03% were male, 41.97% were female. According to age, the group with the most recessions is 46-55 years old. According to the classification of Miller, class I with higher prevalence. According to its periodontal biotype 72.84% in the fine biotype. Most common form of recession was in V with 51.85%, most common dental malocclusion trauma with 55.55%. Discussion: In this research work we found similarities with previous studies in relation to Miller classification, periodontal biotype, age and gender prevalence. Conclusion: It is concluded that as age advances, the percentage of gingival recessions increases considerably, even reaching 100% of prevalence; This does not mean that aging is a determining factor, but the diseases and conditions that accompany aging are associated with recessions.
