Typically confined to buccal or lingual aspects of the teeth.Etiology Typically multifactorial. Commonly attributed to chronic mechanical trauma to the tissues (e.g., aggressive toothbrushing, self-inflicted injuries). Several predisposing factors have been suggested, including anatomical (e.g., aberrant tooth position, thin periodontal phenotype, lack of attached gingiva, aberrant frenum), behavioral (e.g., smoking), and iatrogenic factors (e.g., orthodontic tooth movement, cervical restorations, removable appliances). Rarely, may result from local disease (e.g., herpetic lesions).Gingival Involvement Common on facial aspect of teeth.
