GR can be associated with anatomical, physiological or pathological factors - accumulation of dental plaque and dental calculus, traumatic brushing, anatomical developmental defects, mechanical trauma, occlusal trauma, thin periodontal phenotype, orthodontic treatment outcome, iatrogenic factors, previous periodontal treatment, abnormal gingivobuccal ligaments and frenulum attachments, extraction of neighbouring teeth, as well as smoking and tobacco chewing habits.
