A patient has a localized recession of 3 mm on the inferior front area, with 15% bleeding on probing throughout the mouth. What is the periodontal classification?

Bleeding on probing >10% indicates gingivitis. The localized recession modifies the classification. With 15% BOP and no bone loss implied, the diagnosis is gingivitis with localized recession. 'Healthy with localized recession' would require <10% BOP. Stage I/II periodontitis require radiographic bone loss.
