[The pattern of prevalence of localized periodontal recessions].
It is reported the kind of prevalence of localized periodontal recessions (lpr) in cases of 121 subjects aged from 20 up to 34 years. Most frequently the facial sites of the teeth 44, 23, 34, 13, 14, 24 and 43 are involved. We could not detected an increase of frequency of lpR with the increase of age. Right-handed persons generally show more and deeper lpr in both jaw-sites compared with left-hander. Also right-hander show a smaller plaque accumulation. This result gives us support for our recommendation for a special gentle method of tooth cleaning for subjects suffering from lpr.
