This survey was circulated among 250 dental practitioners throughout four months. The structured questionnaire consisted of 9 questions assessing the knowledge and interest of dental practitioners in periodontics; gingival recession per se.\r\nRESULTS: Majority of the participants were general dentists. Among them, 46.23% had a habit of reading dental journals. Most of the participants had an opinion that improper tooth brushing (42.71%) is an important cause of the gingival recession. Only 34.17% had information about Miller's classification of gingival recession. Regarding general indication of root coverage procedures, 28.64% answered aesthetics was the most common indication. 39.7% mentioned that traumatic occlusion was a risk factor for gingival recession. A group of 29.65% mentioned that accidental toothbrush trauma leads to gingival recession.\r\nCONCLUSION: The knowledge of gingival recession among the study participants was adequate. More specifically, the interest of participants in periodontics was 5.39 and satisfaction in treating periodontal cases was 5.47.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3889\/oamjms.2019.033","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,16]],"date-time":"2019-01-16T18:58:47Z","timestamp":1547665127000},"page":"139-142","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Knowledge and Interest in Treating Gingival Recession among Dental Practitioners in Saudi Arabia"],"prefix":"10.3889","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Mohammad","family":"Bhat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nabeeh","family":"AlQahtani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohasin","family":"Khader","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mukhatar","family":"Javali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ali","family":"AlQahtani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"52292","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"61744","unstructured":"Mehta A.
