==Gingival Recession==
Gingival recession is also measured using a [[Periodontal Probe|periodontal probe]]. It is the '''distance (in mm) from the [[Enamel Organ|cemento-enamel]] junction to the free [[Gingiva|gingival margin]]'''. At sites with gingival recession, [[#Periodontal Probing Depth (PPD)|PPD]] may be within normal values despite loss of [[Enamel Organ#Alveolar Bone|alveolar bone]] due to [[periodontitis]].
