GINGIVAL RECESSION

GINGIVAL RECESSION

Gingival recession, involves the apical migration of the gingival margin, exposing the root surface. This can lead to sensitivity, aesthetic concerns, and increased risk of root caries. Key factors include thin gingival biotype, aggressive tooth brushing, and orthodontic tooth movement. It emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment, ranging from conservative measures like improved oral hygiene to surgical interventions such as connective tissue grafts. Early detection and intervention are crucial to prevent further progression and maintain periodontal health.
