Prevalencia de recesiones gingivales en dientes anteriores apiñados en la Clínica UCSG semestre A-2018.

Abstract

Introduction: Gingival recessions are described as the apical migration of the free gingival margin from the cementoenamel junction to the apical or from the anterior location of the limit from which the restorations have been distorted to the shape or state of this union. Therefore, the gingival recession may be related in turn to one or more sectors. Objective: To determine the prevalence of gingival recessions in anterior teeth crowded in patients with periodontal disease who attend the periodontal clinic of the semester UCSG A-2018. Materials and methods: A descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study was carried out in the dental clinic of the Universidad Católica Santiago de Guayaquil during the semester A-2018 in 80 patients of the periodontics clinic II and III. The prevalence of gingival recessions in the anterior crowded teeth was determined through the assessment of the periodontogram to evaluate the periodontal status, the level of bleeding on probing, the type of gingival recession and malocclusion according to age and sex. Results: Evaluated 100 patients of whom after applying inclusion / exclusion criteria were selected 80. The sample was 80 patients, 48 male and 32 female. It was determined that the 28.8% of the patients were between 18-30 years, 17.5% between 31-40 years and 25% between 41-52 years and the 28.8% between 53-70 years. Conclusion: It is concluded that gingival recessions are very common in anterior teeth with crowding, which will present risk factors for various types of injuries or periodontal disease.
