JH Gliksberg, A Mintz, MS Hochberg, and MR Sher
Interfaith Medical Center, Brooklyn, NY 11238.

The term true mucogingival defects has been used to denote a complete absence of attached gingiva. This study attempted to establish how often true mucogingival defects occur in a random population sample. Of the 1,302 teeth studied, 13 teeth (1%) had a mucogingival defect, indicating that the true mucogingival defect is not a common occurrence.
