Treatment of gingival recession

Gingival recession – causes and surgical treatment

Gingival recession is a non-inflammatory condition in which the gum decreases in volume and moves toward the tooth root, resulting in root exposure.

This problem is not just aesthetic. Root exposure causes:

  • Increased sensitivity to hot and cold
  • High risk of caries development on the root surface
  • Color change (Discoloration)
  • Gradual damage to the tooth structure
  • In some cases – reduction of stability

The exposure of roots during a smile causes discomfort and decreased self-confidence in many patients.

Recession treatment is carried out surgically. The procedure may include:

  • Coronally advancing (pulling down) the raised gum

  • Grafting tissue from the palate

  • Combined techniques depending on the specific clinical situation

The surgery is particularly predictable in cases of Class I and II recessions, where the success rate is maximally high. The earlier the plastic surgery is performed, the better and more stable the operative result.
