Abstract

The objectives of this study were to examine the prevalence of gingival recession (GR)and cervical abrasion(CA) and to relate some considered factors to them. We selected 308 subjects, consisting of male 174 and female 134, who had 14 teeth at least. As age increased, the prevalence rates of GR & CA was increased. And both the rates of GR & CA were higher in male than in female. Interestingly, the effect of alcohol consumption was the highest in GR and smoking affected CA highly among several variables. However, we could not prove the direct relationship between drinking & smoking and GR & CA. Only we assumed poor oral hygiene due to drinking & smoking as one of predisposing factors. The result of this study did not show the obvious factor which affected GR and CA greatly. The present study suggested that GR & CA should be related to a number of factors.
