Abstract: Gingival recession is a state or condition of the marginal gingiva that is more apical than the cementoenamel junction and is usually accompanied by opening of the root surface of teeth. Wrong brushing technique is the most common cause of gingival recession. Brushing technique that is most widely used is vertical direction. This study aimed to determine the influence of vertical brushing technique to the occurrence of gingival recession in students of Dentistry study program Sam Ratulangi University. This was a descriptive analytical study with a cross sectional design. Samples were obtained by using the purposive sampling method. Data of brushing technique were obtained by observing the vertical movement of tooth brushing used by respondents and were filled in a check list. Gingival recession was obtained by examination of the oral cavity and the severity of gingival recession was determined. There were 71 students as samples. Data were analyzed with the chi-square test. The results showed the influence of vertical brushing technique to gingival recession with a p value = 0.000 (p = <0.005).

Abstrak: Resesi gingiva adalah kondisi marginal gingiva yang lebih ke apikal dari Cemento Enamel Junction dan biasanya disertai dengan terbukanya permukaan akar gigi. Kesalahan dalam menyikat gigi merupakan penyebab resesi gingiva yang paling umum. Kesalahan yang dimaksud yaitu kesalahan dalam teknik menyikat gigi. Teknik menyikat gigi yang paling banyak di gunakan ialah teknik menyikat gigi vertikal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui berapa besar pengaruh teknik menyikat gigi vertikal terhadap terjadinya resesi gingiva pada mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Dokter Gigi Universitas Sam Ratulangi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif analitik dengan rancangan potong lintang. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan metode purposive sampling. Pengambilan data teknik menyikat gigi vertikal dengan cara melihat gerakan menyikat gigi yang digunakan subjek penelitian. Hasil pengamatan dimasukkan pada check list sesuai dengan teknik menyikat gigi yang digunakan. Resesi gingiva didapat dengan melakukan pemeriksaan rongga mulut kemudian dihitung tingkat keparahan resesi gingiva. Jumlah sampel dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 71 mahasiswa. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji chi-square. Hasil data menunjukkan adanya pengaruh teknik menyikat gigi vertikal terhadap resesi gingiva dengan nilai p = 0,000 (p = <0,005).
