Gingival Recession and Various Root Coverage Procedures: A Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Esthetics is of prime concern in today’s sophisticated and modernised society. Esthetics is the science of beauty and encompasses almost every field of dentistry. Gingival recession is defined as the oral exposure of the root surface due to a displacement of the gingival margin apical to the cement-enamel junction and it is regularly linked to the deterioration of dental aesthetics. It has been associated with many factors such as inflammatory periodontal disease, developmental anatomic abnormalities (aberrant frenal attachment, thin bony plate), toothbrush injury, tooth malposition and iatrogenic factors. Apart from compromised esthetics, gingival recession also results in a variety of other problems such as root hypersensitivity, a higher incidence of root caries and diminished plaque control, thus necessitating treatment. Successful treatment of recession-type defects is based on the use of predictable periodontal plastic surgery (PPS) procedures.
