In our study 150 referred patients were assessed for the presence of gingival recession and root caries. The mean age of the patients was 40 +/- 9 years. On average they failed 6.8 teeth. Gingival recession was present in all patients, with mean value of 55.5% denuded dental root surfaces, the most frequently expressed on buccal root surfaces. Number of denuded dental root surfaces increases with patient's age. The root caries lesion was found in 75% of patients. Patients had on average 5.7 treated and untreated caries lesions. The number of root caries lesions increases with age of the patients as well. The mean Index of total root caries was 9.4%. Most frequently root caries of lower molars and premolars was found, mostly on the buccal surfaces, rather than on approximal and lingual surfaces.
在我们的研究中，对150名转诊患者进行了牙龈退缩和根龋情况的评估。患者的平均年龄为40±9岁。他们平均缺失6.8颗牙齿。所有患者均存在牙龈退缩，牙本质暴露牙根面的平均值为55.5%，最常出现在颊侧牙根面。牙本质暴露牙根面的数量随患者年龄增加而增多。75%的患者发现有根龋损害。患者平均有5.7个已治疗和未治疗的龋损。根龋损害的数量也随患者年龄增加而增多。根龋总指数的平均值为9.4%。最常发现的是下颌磨牙和前磨牙的根龋，大多位于颊面，而非邻面和舌面。
