Which class of recession extends to the mucogingival junction or beyond without bone loss?

  1. Miller class 1

  2. Miller class 2

  3. Miller class 3

  4. Miller class 4

The correct answer is: Miller class 2

The correct answer is Miller class 2. This class of recession involves recession of the gingival tissue to the mucogingival junction or beyond, but without loss of bone attachment. This means that the gum tissue has pulled away from the tooth, but the underlying bone is still intact. Miller class 1, 3, and 4 all involve varying degrees of bone loss, which is not present in Miller class 2. It is important for dentists to accurately classify recession in order to determine the best treatment approach.
