Sumario: Objetive: Establish the role of the traumatic occlusion in the appearance and progression of gingival recessions, in order to clarify the controversy about the aetiology of these lesions, which is only associated to dental plaque. Method: This was systematic review of literature. All the articles were chosen from the database available at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana library. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. Once the selection was performed, the quality and validity according to the JAMA parameters, was assessed, and the levels of evidence and grades of recommendation were established. Results: 3.577 references obtained from 20 databases at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Library were revised. 51 references were chosen, 32 were excluded and 19 articles were included into the analysis. Just 7 articles were valid and only one article addressed specifically the relationship between traumatic occlusion and gingival recessions. Conclusions: The literature that relates traumatic occlusion with the appearance and progression of the periodontal disease, does not mention gingival recessions as a sign of trauma from occlusion. Although this relationship remains as a “clinical opinion,” it seems convenient to control the occlusal factor as a risk factor to any type o periodontal disease or lesion in the clinical practice.
