<![CDATA[The prevalence, extent, and severity of gingival recession increase with age and more prevalent in males. Recession is an exposure of the root surface and an apical shift of the gingival position. Recession may be localized in one tooth or a number of teeth, or it may be generalized through out the mouth. Gingival recession will be a problem when patient complained about esthetic, because teeth are seen longer . Gingival recession could happen either physiologic or pathologic. Physiologically, it usually increases with age.
