Gingival Recession

Exposure of the root surface when the edge of the gum (GINGIVA) moves apically away from the crown of the tooth. This is common with advancing age, vigorous tooth brushing, diseases, or tissue loss of the gingiva, the PERIODONTAL LIGAMENT and the supporting bone (ALVEOLAR PROCESS).
Also Known As:
Atrophy of Gingiva; Gingiva Atrophies; Gingiva Atrophy; Gingival Atrophies; Gingival Recessions; Recession, Gingival; Recessions, Gingival; Gingival Atrophy

Therapies and Procedures

1. Therapeutics
01/01/2002 - "The 1-year results indicated that: 1) all treatment modalities resulted in clinically significant improvements in clinical attachment levels (CAL) and reduction in probing depth (PD); 2) a statistically significant treatment effect was demonstrated comparing the EMP test, the membrane control, and the flap control groups in terms of CAL gains; 3) both the EMP test and the membrane control groups showed significant CAL gains compared to the flap control group; 4) a statistically significantly greater amount of CAL gain was demonstrated in GTR-treated compared to EMP-treated patients; 5) deeper residual probing depths but smaller increases in gingival recession were demonstrated following EMP therapy; and 6) smoking habits reduced the clinical outcomes of both regenerative procedures.

"
01/01/2016 - "However, only the subepithelial connective tissue graft in conjunction with a coronally advanced flap appears consistently effective across all clinical parameters, and is therefore currently considered the gold standard for gingival recession therapy. "
10/17/2023 - "Connective tissue graft (CTG) serves as a gold standard for gingival recession therapy. "
01/01/2022 - "Does the subepithelial connective tissue graft in conjunction with a coronally advanced flap remain as the gold standard therapy for the treatment of single gingival recession defects? "

3. Operative Surgical Procedures
12/01/2003 - "Both techniques resulted in clinically and statistically significant improvements between baseline and 1 year, in terms of clinical attachment level (CAL) gain, probing depth (PD) reduction, and radiographic bone fill; however, the BPBM test treatment showed statistically significantly greater CAL (5.8 +/- 1.1 versus 4.9 +/- 1.0) and radiographic bone (DEPTH) level gains (5.3 +/- 1.1 versus 4.3 +/- 1.5), and less increase in gingival recession (0.4 +/- 0.6 versus 0.9 +/- 0.5) than the control surgical procedure. "
11/01/2013 - "Both the surgical procedures were equally effective in treatment of localized gingival recession by the free rotated papilla autograft technique combined with coronally advanced flap. "
01/01/2019 - "The objective of the present study was to compare the efficacy of single-stage laterally positioned flap (LPF) and coronally advanced flap (CAF) techniques in the treatment of localized maxillary gingival recession (GR) defects, 1 and 5 years after surgical procedures. "
03/01/2015 - "The aim of this prospective randomized clinical study was to evaluate, by means of an image analysis system, the efficacy of two different surgical procedures for the treatment of Miller Class I and II maxillary gingival recession. "
01/01/2018 - "The aim of this study was to evaluate the short- (1 year) and longer-term (3 years) effectiveness of a surgical procedure combining coronally advanced flap (CAF) with site-specific application of connective tissue graft (CTG) in the treatment of multiple gingival recessions (MGR). "
