Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Periodontology
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • Gingival recession involves apical migration of the gingival margin, exposing root surfaces.
  • It is a prevalent condition often necessitating dental treatment for aesthetic and functional reasons.
  • Mucogingival therapy aims to prevent further recession, enhance aesthetics, improve plaque control, and reduce dentine hypersensitivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of surgical management procedures for gingival recession.
  • To educate dental practitioners on available mucogingival treatment options.
  • To enhance the identification of suitable candidates for gingival recession surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on surgical techniques for treating gingival recession.
  • Analysis of various mucogingival procedures involving tissue manipulation for root coverage and gingival augmentation.

Main Results:

  • Multiple surgical modalities exist for treating gingival recession.
  • These treatments often involve augmenting gingival tissues to cover exposed root surfaces.

Conclusions:

  • Dental practitioners should be aware of diverse surgical options for gingival recession.
  • Improved understanding can lead to better patient selection and treatment planning.
  • Effective management can address aesthetic concerns, hypersensitivity, and plaque control issues.
