Globally, gingival recession is extremely widespread. It raises the risk for root caries and can impair patient comfort, function, and appearance. We searched electronic databases for all pertinent research published up until the middle of 2022. Additionally, progressive gingival recession raises the likelihood of tooth loss due to clinical attachment loss. Although reducing the causes of gingival recession reduces its incidence and severity, it can be difficult to implement realistic management and preventative techniques in a clinical context. Developing action plans for relevant therapies begins with identifying susceptible patients and evaluating them for the presence of modifiable risk exposures.
