Gingival recession is more prevalent on the labial (cheek or lip side) surface of teeth compared to the lingual (tongue side) surface. This is often due to the thinner bone and gingival tissue on the labial aspect, as well as the effects of toothbrushing.
Gingival recession is typically more common in adults than children.

Physiology
Type IIA fibers are oxidative-glycolytic, meaning they have a mix of oxidative and glycolytic metabolism, while type IIB fibers are purely glycolytic, relying on anaerobic metabolism for energy production during high-intensity, short-duration contractions.

PeriodonticsHyaluronidase and chondroitinase are enzymes that play a role in the degradation of connective tissue components, including glycosaminoglycans in the periodontal tissues. These enzymes contribute to the breakdown of the extracellular matrix, which is significant in periodontal disease progression.
