The position of mucogingival line____________________?

Correct answer: C. Constant throughout the life

  • A. Shifts apically with age
  • B. Shifts coronally with age
  • C. Constant throughout the life
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

The mucogingival junction is a relatively stable landmark throughout life because the attached gingiva does not normally migrate across it. Age-related apical or coronal changes mainly affect the gingival margin, not the mucogingival line.
