T1  - Estimating effects of craniofacial morphology on gingival recession and clinical attachment loss
N2  - Objectives: Currently, evidence for the association between face morphology, attachment loss and
recession is lacking. Face type can be described by the ratio of facial width and facial length. We
hypothesize, that the facial type might be related to gingival recession (REC) and clinical attachment
loss (CAL) and that a broad face is associated with less recession and attachment loss than a long
face.
Materials and methods: Data from the 10 year follow-up of the Study of Health in Pomerania
(SHIP-2; 2008-2012; 2333 participants) were used. Periodontitis was assessed by probing depth (PD)
and clinical attachment loss (CAL). Generalized regression models were used to assess associations
between specific landmark distances extracted from magnetic resonance images (MRI) head scans
and clinically assessed gingival recession adjusting(REC) or clinical attachment loss(CAL) adjusting
for relevant confounders.
Results: Maximum cranial width was negatively associated with mean REC and mean CAL
(p<0.05). Also, higher mean REC and higher mean CAL correlate positively with long face
(B=0.361 with 95% CI), upper anterior facial height.
Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, gingival recession and clinical attachment
loss were associated with higher Prosopic face and facial length indices results.
