INTRODUCTION: Periodontal recessions are characterized by the migration of the gingival margin to a more apical position concerning the cementoenamel junction. The prevalence of this mucogingival condition varies according to the study and the population evaluated, but a high prevalence is reported in individuals with excellent oral hygiene. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the extent and severity of periodontal recession and its prevalence on students at a dental school (UFMG). Moreover, to identify associated factors and the presence of dentin hypersensitive and aesthetic complains. METHODS: An evaluation was carried out on a convenience sampling of 67 students, mostly female, with a mean age of 23.7 (SD = 1.93). Periodontal recessions were measured considering the buccal and lingual/palatal surfaces of all teeth present. Different clinical parameters of individuals and associated factors were evaluated. For data analysis, absolute distributions and percentages were obtained, and the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis association tests were used. RESULTS: The prevalence of periodontal recession was 91% in the studied population, and the most affected group of teeth were the canines. A total of 3,752 surfaces were evaluated, and the presence of recession was observed in 274 (7.30%). None of the parameters evaluated showed a statistically significant association (p |
