Severity of Periodontal Recession and Associated Risk Factors in France.

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The severity of periodontal recessions for each examined patient during dental consultation was evaluated. Moreover, the description of the number of periodontal recessions in patients with good health during dental consultation, the associated risk factors and evaluation of the number of recessions which need surgical therapy were realized.
