About this study
Official title: Gingival Recession and Its Impact on Oral Health-related Quality of Life: A Cross-sectional Study
Aim of this study is the assessment of gingival recession and its impact on oral health related quality of life in tertiary health care center in Haryana state.
Objectives:
- Determine the prevalence of gingival recession (GR) through clinical screening.
- Classify patients with GR based on the system proposed by Cairo et al.
- Identify the risk factors associated with GR
- To assess the impact of GR on oral health related quality of life.
Read the detailed description
The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes a holistic approach to health. According to WHO health is "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". Gingival recession is the migration of gingival margin apical to cementoenamel junction. Gingival recession although not associated with increased tooth loss, is considered an esthetic concern to patients. It is associated with the occurrence of dentin hypersensitivity and carious/non-carious cervical lesions on the exposed root surface. Most of the studies reported prevalence of gingival recession, but in specific geographic locations. Thus, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of gingival recession and its impact on oral health related quality of life in a sample of north Indian population in Haryana state.
