Previous studies have shown that people with a thin gingival biotype have a higher risk of developing gingival recessions. This study examines the relationship between the gingival biotype and the tooth shape of the incisors of the upper jaw in order to identify risk groups for the formation of recessions only by analyzing the tooth shape.
Conditions
Interventions
Group 1: For this prospective study periodontally healthy students, employees and patients of the Freiburg University Hospital aged 18-30 years are being recruited.
