Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of gingival recession in orthodontically-treated females compared to untreated controls, focusing on the mandibular incisor region.
- Results show that a higher percentage of orthodontically-treated females (41.33%) experienced gingival recession compared to controls (24%).
- Significant correlations were found between gingival thickness (GT), keratinized tissue width (KTW), and gingival recession, highlighting that orthodontic treatment may increase the risk of recession, especially with a narrow KTW.
