GINGIVAL RECESSION IN RELATION TO MUCOGINGIVAL DEFORMITIES AND OTHER PREDISPOSING FACTORS AFFECT FEMALES IN LOWER ESTHETIC ZONE

Background: Gingival recession (GR) is one of the most common esthetic problems affecting middle and older aged peoples. GR can lead to many changes as root caries, hypersensitivity, erosions, abrasions, plaque retention aesthetic dissatisfaction. This study aimed evaluate prevalence gingival in relation mucogingival deformities lower zone. Methods: A cross-sectional was done on a sample 290 females. The participants were interviewed for personal habits examined intraoral distribution its various predisposing factors. Results: anterior teeth 234, 80.69 %.Around half had Millers' class I (n=146, 49%), thin phenotype (n=168, 56.9 %), mucosal labial frenum attachment(n=132, 44.7%, n=148, 50.2%). Most sufficient attached gingiva (n=246, 83.4%) normal vestibular depth(n=278, 94.2%). statistically significant with depth, biotype (P≤0.05). Conclusion: aesthetics zone high females especially Miller due phenotypes. Yemeni have adequate gingiva, depth frequent mucosallabial teeth.
