    Objective: To determine the association between occlusal trauma and the type of gingival recession in patients treated at the Ecodental dental clinic in Huánuco in 2021. Methodology: An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted with 108 patients, evaluating clinical indicators for the presence of occlusal trauma, such as wear facets, percussion pain, dental mobility, premature contact, and occlusal interference. Gingival recession was determined according to Miller's classification: class I, II, III, and IV. The data obtained were analyzed using the chi-square test and Fisher's exact test, with statistical significance assumed for a p-value < 0.05. Results: The collected data showed the presence of occlusal trauma in 51.9% of the evaluated patients, associated with wear facets, dental mobility, and premature contact. Regarding the frequency of gingival recession and its types, 75.0% showed recession, with class I being the most prevalent at 39.8%. In the association results between occlusal trauma and gingival recession, 51.9% of patients with occlusal trauma had gingival recession; whereas, in the association between occlusal trauma and the type of gingival recession, 33.3% and 23.5% of patients with occlusal trauma had Miller's class II and I recession, respectively. Conclusions: An association was found between occlusal trauma and the type of gingival recession in the evaluated sample.
