Introduction. Gingival recession is a clinical condition that is common in the dental practice of dentists.
Aim. To determine the prevalence of gingival recessions in patients with generalized periodontitis depending on gender.
Materials and methods. The study involved 133 patients with generalized periodontitis aged 29 to 59 years, who underwent a comprehensive periodontal examination us-ing the Florida Probe system. Patients were divided into two groups depending on gender.
Results of the study showed that the prevalence of gingi-val recessions in patients with generalized periodontitis among females was 78.57 (50.00-91.36) % and it was significantly higher (p = 0.047) compared to males in which the prevalence of gingival recession was 69.23 (39.28- 82.14) %. A comparative analysis of the preva-lence of gingival recessions in the mandible between the two groups showed that the prevalence of gingival reces-sions in females was statistically higher than in males (p = 0.035). The maxillary right canine and mandibular left first incisor were the teeth most frequently and most seri-ously associated with a gingival recession in males, while in females it was the maxillary first right incisor and mandibular first left incisor. According to the severity, in females, the gingival recession with vertical width 1-2 mm was observed in 46.0 (41.6-50.5) % of cases, in males – in 41.7 (37.1-46.4) %. The gingival recession with vertical width 3-4 mm in females was observed in 19.8 (15.3-24.5) %, while in males this indicator was 14.6 (10.6-18.7) %. Gingival recession with vertical width of 5 mm or more occurred more often in males than in females: 4.8 (1.8-7.9) % and 4.0 (2.1-6) %, respectively.
Conclusions. In this study, the prevalence of the gingival recession was higher in females among the examined groups. Females are more prone to develop gingival re-cession on the mandible than males. Gingival recession with the vertical width of 1-2 mm and 3-4 mm is more common in women, while gingival recessions with a verti-cal width of 5 and more mm in men.
