Gingival labial recessions and the post-treatment proclination of mandibular incisors.

Introduction: A prerequisite for development of gingival recession is the presence of alveolar bone dehiscence. Proclination of mandibular incisors can result in thinning of the alveolus and dehiscence formation.

Objective: To assess an association between proclination of mandibular incisor and development of gingival recession.
