How can a patient have recession and be low risk?
PreViser’s risk score only predicts a deteriorated status due to periodontitis and the score does not predict recession due to causes other than periodontitis. Therefore a patient with no risk factors that are used by PreViser to determine periodontitis risk and where recession is the only periodontal pathology would be low risk.
