It is a clinical finding, not a single disease, and it can occur with or without periodontal disease. It is commonly discussed in general dentistry and periodontics because it can affect comfort, aesthetics, and cavity risk on roots. Clinicians use the term to describe what they see, measure it over time, and communicate treatment options."}
