Abstract: Gingival recession is the displacement of marginal gingiva to the apical direction of the cementoenamel junction due to the loss of alveolar bone attachment tissue resulting in exposure of the root surface of the tooth. Wrong technique of tooth brushing is one of the causes of gingival recession. This study was aimed to determine the correlation between tooth brushing techniques and gingival recession among the coastal coast community at the Megamas area of Manado. This was an analytical study with a cross sectional design. Sampleswere obtained by using total sampling method. Tooth brushing techniques were observed by looking at the way the respondents brushed their teeth. We provided check lists in accordance with the techniques they used. Data of gingival recession were obtained by examination of the oral cavity and then we calculated the severity of gingival recession. There were 43 respondents involved in this study.
