Abstract

Gingival recession occurrence is highly prevalent after orthodontic treatment, and keeratinised tissue width at baseline is significantly correlated with the prevalence, extension, and severity of gingival recession, clearly demonstrating the importance of evaluating periodontal factors in planning orthodontic treatment.

Keywords: gingival recession; keratinized tissue; orthodontic treatment; prognostic factors; retrospective study.
