Generally asymptomatic, except for inflammation or trauma during mastication, and may still present bleeding during the probing [1-5]. It can cover the coronary portion of affected teeth, creating deep pseudo-pockets that hinder oral hygiene and favor the accumulation of biofilm and dental calculus, causing the promotion of periodontal diseases and the installation of carious lesions [1]. Etiopathogenic factors include poor oral hygiene, accumulation of biofilm and dental calculus, considered as a low-intensity chronic traumatic factor [15]. In additio...
