Abstract:
In the clinical context, the width of the attached gingiva is established by substracting the sulcus depth from the width of the keratinized gingiva. Summarizing all factors, it becomes clear that control of marginal inflammation appears to be the most important key to limiting--and possibly reversing--an otherwise progressive recession. A nonsurgical approach should be the clinician's first choice.
