    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-04-10) Cornejo Palomino, Jazmín Estela; Aguirre Morales, Anita Kori
    The sample consisted of 384 individuals aged 18 to 59 years residing in the city of Arequipa. Data collection was done using surveys and observations. To assess oral hygiene habits, a 14-item questionnaire was used, and for evaluating gingival recession, an observation form was used to record measurements based on the Cairo classification of gingival recession. Both measurement instruments were validated and approved by an expert committee. Results showed that 77.60% of patients reported regular use of physical elements, 95.05% reported regular use of chemical elements, and 60.16% had a diet that is frequently cariogenic. Meanwhile, only 81.25% did not present gingival recession. Conclusion: No statistically significant relationship was found between oral hygiene habits and gingival recession, as the Spearman correlation statistic showed a significance of 0.221.
