Further, the subjects were grouped into subgroup A, periodontally healthy and subgroup B, gingival recession (GR). Group 1, 2, and 3 included 30 subjects each in subgroup A, while Group 4 subgroup B had 18 subjects. In case of subgroup B, Group 2 included 9 subjects, Group 3\u201331 subjects, and Group 4\u201330 subjects. Measurements included the depth of vestibule from 2 reference point, i.e., gingival margin (GM) and incisal edge (IE).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In subgroup A, the average VD from GM was found to be the least in the Group 1 i.e., 6\u201314 years (9.2 mm \u00b1 4.26 in maxilla and 7.01 mm \u00b1 3.14 in the mandible) and the highest in the Group 4 i.e., &gt;50 years (12.06 mm \u00b1 2.73 in maxilla and 10.08 mm \u00b1 2.58 in the mandible).
