title: [Gingivitis and recession in the child (100 cases)].
abstract: An epidemiological study was made on 100 children 5 to 18 years old, from the Paris region, who showed precocious gingival pathology. Then, the various factors, liable to prevent such defects before the point of no return is reached, were investigated. They are hygiene and its type and frequency. The responsibility lies with the dental profession, educators and public dental health services.
