The study describs a standardized and reproducible photometric test method for the measurement of gingival recession surfaces. A sample of 45 teeth associated with gingival recessions was selected for testing the control method. The planimetric results suggest a high reliability of the method (p > 0.98) compared to the clinical measurements of the height and the width of the recessions with a graduated periodontal probe.
