The purpose of this pilot study is to investigate any association between occlusal dysfunctions and gingival recessions. Data on gingival phenotype and previous orthodontic treatment were also collected to assess any correlation with the presence of gingival recession. Materials and Methods: Forty systemically healthy subjects, without signs of periodontitis and with gingival recessions, were included in the study. The following parameters were determined: location and extent of the gingival recession, gingival phenotype and functional occlusion by means of observing and registering the occlusal contacts in maximum intercuspation position, protrusive and lateral guidance. Results: Premolars were mostly affected in cases of working-side interferences during lateral guidance (71.19% of the affected teeth during left and 75% during right mandibular movements). The chi-squared exact test applied for the analysis of contingency tables revealed statistically significant associations between excursive interferences during lateral guidance and anterior guidance and the presence of gingival recession on the involved group of teeth. Conclusions: The results suggest that most gingival recessions might be associated with working-side interferences, the highest number of gingival recessions being associated with active interferences during lateral guidance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina57121316","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,30]],"date-time":"2021-11-30T22:01:11Z","timestamp":1638309671000},"page":"1316","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Incidence of Malocclusion among Young Patients with Gingival Recessions\u2014A Cross-Sectional Observational Pilot Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"57","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9169-3329","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Darius","family":"Tomina","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy \u201cIuliu Ha\u021bieganu\u201d, 400012 Cluj Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4209-9884","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Smaranda","family":"Buduru","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthetic Dentistry, University of Medicine and Pharmacy \u201cIuliu Ha\u021bieganu\u201d, 400012 Cluj Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cristian Mihail","family":"Dinu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and Maxillo-Facial Implantology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy \u201cIuliu Ha\u021bieganu\u201d, 400012 Cluj Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0774-8121","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andreea","family":"Kui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthetic Dentistry, University of Medicine and Pharmacy \u201cIuliu Ha\u021bieganu\u201d, 400012 Cluj Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C\u0103t\u0103lina","family":"Dee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Maxillo-Facial Surgery, County Emergency Hospital, 400000 Cluj Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raluca","family":"Cosgarea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthetic Dentistry, University of Medicine and Pharmacy \u201cIuliu Ha\u021bieganu\u201d, 400012 Cluj Napoca, Romania"},{"name":"Clinic of Periodontology, Operative and Preventive Dentistry, University of Bonn, 53111 Bonn, Germany"},{"name":"Clinic of Periodontology and Peri-Implant Diseases, University of Marburg, 35033 Marburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marius","family":"Negucioiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthetic Dentistry, University of Medicine and Pharmacy \u201cIuliu Ha\u021bieganu\u201d, 400012 Cluj Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S204","DOI":"10.1002\/JPER.16-0671","article-title":"Mucogingival conditions in the natural dentition: Narrative review, case definitions, and diagnostic considerations","volume":"89","author":"Cortellini","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
