Brief Summary

Aim of this study is the assessment of gingival recession and its impact on oral health related quality of life in tertiary health care center in Haryana state. Objectives:

1. 1.Determine the prevalence of gingival recession (GR) through clinical screening.
2. 2.Classify patients with GR based on the system proposed by Cairo et al.
3. 3.Identify the risk factors associated with GR
4. 4.To assess the impact of GR on oral health related quality of life.

Conditions
