The Influence of Occlusal Trauma on Gingival Recession and Gingival Clefts

20 Gingival Recession

The rationale for periodontal plastic surgery was restoration of function, health and esthetics of periodontium from augmentation procedures. The subepithelial connective tissue graft is the gold standard to achieve desirable root coverage. Difficulty arises with the presence of shallow vestibule with no keratinized gingiva and a strong frenum attachment. Hereby presenting a case report to achi...

Correlation between Gingival Biotype and Occurrence of Gingival Recession

Gingival recession is the displacement of the gingival margin apical to the cemento-enamel junction resulting in the exposure of root surface which puts the patient at risk for dentine hypersensitivity, root caries, abrasion/erosion of roots etc. The etiology can be inflammatory periodontal disease, developmental anatomic abnormalities (aberrant frenal attachment, thin bony plate), toothbrush i...

Correlation between gingival thickness and gingival recession in humans.

Gingival recession is characterized by the apical migration of the gingival margin, exposing the root surface. Studies have demonstrated several etiological factors for gingival recession such as periodontitis, traumatic toothbrushing, use of oral piercing, and past orthodontic therapy, among others. It might not be possible to identify and quantify the influence of each factor, and gingival re...

Severe Gingival Recession: Gingival Veneer a Method of Camouflage.

Effect of Smoking on Gingival Recession

Background: Gingival recession refers to apical migration of the gingival margin. Smoking is one of the most important risk factors for periodontitis that affects the prevalence, extent and severity of disease. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of smoking on gingival recession. Methods: Fifty smokers and 55 non-smokers took part in this cross-sectional study. Gingival recession on...
