Abstract
Background and Objective: Gingival recession is a common disease leads to esthetic problems, increased sensitivity of teeth and root caries. This study was done to determine the prevalence of gingival recession in dental students with high level of oral hygiene.
Methods: This descriptive-analytic study was performed on 214 dental students of Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Gorgan, Iran during 2017-2018. After collecting demographic information, clinical examination including Oral Hygiene Index (OHI) and Gingival Index (GI), Severity of gingival recession, width of keratinized gingival, attachment of frenulum, toothbrush trauma, tooth malpositions, periodontal diseases and other iatrogenic factors was measured.
Results: Prevalence of gingival recession was 23.8% .Class 1 and 2 of gingival recession was 84.62 % and 15.38%, respectively. Class 3 and 4 of gingival recession did not observe in any subjects. Toothbrush trauma was the most etiologic factor in 35.4% of dental students suffering of gingival recession (P<0.05). Also, dental malposition with 20.83%, loss of keratinized gingival with 14.58%, orthodontics procedures with 12.5%, periodontal diseases with 10.4% were the other factors in gingival recession.
Conclusion: Toothbrush trauma and dental malposition are the most important etiologic factors in dentistry students suffering from gingival recession.

Abstract
Background and Objective: One of the health indices in human is normality of the number and size of blood cells. The purpose of this study was to screen for bleeding and coagulation disorders among the patients in oral medicine department of Yazd dental school.
Methods: This descriptive - analytic study was performed on 273 patients referred to the oral medicine department of dental school in Yazd, Iran during 2015-16. Data of age, sex, systemic diseases and their type, medical history, patient’s clinical examinations and also the cause and type of requested laboratory tests were recorded for each sujects.
Results: Bleeding and coagulation lab tests were ordered for 63 persons (23.4%) and complete blood count (CBC) for 210 persons (76.9%). The CBC of most patients with systemic diseases (53 cases, 25.2%) was normal. The most frequent systemic disorders were cardiovascular diseases (56%) and followed by bleeding disorders (19%). The most frequent abnormality of CBC components was seen in the distribution of neutrophils (84.9%). There was no significant correlation between CBC results and its components and also PT, BT and PTT with the age of the patients. Platelet counts, Hb and INR results showed a significant correlation with the age of the patients (in age range of 6-83 years) (P<0.05). Platelet counts, WBC, PT, lymphocyte, neutrophil and RBC, Hb, MCV and MCH results were significantly different between females than males (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The majority of bleeding and coagulation labratory test results of patients were normal, which can indicate the readiness of the patients to tolerate dental treatments. The results of this study help to reduce the unnecessary laboratory test orders and patient costs with a thorough medical history and careful consideration of clinical findings.
