Abstract:

Illustrating different techniques of treating gingival recessions is our goal. Many techniques and materials are recently used to repair the gingival recession which becomes one of the most common dental problems. Several factors are contributing in gingival recession as inadequate brushing and flossing or brushing teeth too hard or on the wrong way. In fact, studies show that 30% of the population may be predisposed to gingival disease, regardless of how well they care for their teeth. Gingival recession is the process in which the gingival margin migrates apically exposing the teeth roots. If left untreated, the supporting tissue and bone structures of the teeth can be severely damaged and may ultimately result in tooth loss. If gingival recession cannot be treated with deep cleaning because of excess loss of bone and pockets that are too deep, surgical intervention may be required to repair the damage caused.
