Gingival recession and its effect on oral health-related quality of life

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This cross-sectional study will screen systemically healthy adults aged 18–45 at a tertiary dental center in Rohtak for gingival recession (≥1 mm) and record clinical findings. Recession cases will be classified using the Cairo et al. system and information on potential risk factors will be collected. Participants will complete an oral health-related quality of life questionnaire to measure the impact of recession on daily function and well-being. Individuals with systemic disease, medications linked to gingival enlargement, recent or ongoing orthodontic treatment, mobile or prosthetically involved teeth, or endodontically treated teeth will be excluded.
