Evaluate the drafted changes
Looking at my peer’s article, it is evident that the author, Vonyei Fita, has updated the lead to reflect new content that they added. The lead was “although gingival recession is irreversible, it can be managed and treated to prevent symptoms from worsening.” This is composed of an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article’s topic, which is the management and treatment of gingival recession in order to prevent symptoms from worsening. The lead includes a brief description of the article’s major sections, such as  meeting the criteria for gingival recession treatment, and recommendation by researchers to attend “dentists ranging from 13 months to 120 months.” The lead is concise since it uses only one sentence to introduce the topic as well as to highlight the importance to attend dentist appointments to treat gingival recessions. The content that was added appears to be neutral and informative as it provided several methods of managing and handling gingival recession. There are no claims that appear heavily biased towards a particular position and there was no attempt to persuade the reader towards one position or away from another. In this article, different viewpoints were represented such as the recommended intervals for dental appointments by researchers and the criteria for surgical evaluation of gingival recession treatment by Dr. George K. Merijohn DDS. All the new content is backed up by a reliable secondary source of information. The author used Wiley online libraries, such as periodontology 2000, to cite their information. Moreover, they used peer-reviewed articles like “The Role of Mouth guards in Preventing and Reducing Sports-Related Trauma” which is an accurate source of information as taught by the lectures that were taken in this course. The content accurately reflects what the cited sources say and this is evident when the author stated “ that the purpose of a mouth guard is to cover and protect the teeth and surrounding mucosa to prevent and reduce trauma to the teeth, gingival tissue, lips, and jaws.” In the article, The Role of Mouth guards in Preventing and Reducing Sports-Related Trauma,” the author mentions “a mouth guard, also known as a gumshield, mouth protector or sports guard is an appliance that covers the teeth and surrounding mucosa with the aim of preventing or reducing trauma to the teeth, gingival tissue, lips and jaws.” This appears to match with what Vonyei Fita has discussed in their article and therefore, the content accurately reflects what the cited sources say.
