Abstract Stages in the pathogenesis of gingival recession were observed rats which pocketing had been induced by replacement natural incisors with dental implants. Suitable conditions thus created on palatal aspect implant sockets for to occur. The process was examined at intervals taking transverse serial sections. In epithelial and connective tissues deep receding margin, morphological changes seen apparently lead cleft formation recession. These appeared be associated mononuclear cell...
