Gingival recession associated with noncarious cervical lesions: combined periodontal-restorative approach and the treatment of long-term esthetic complications.

Abstract

Buccal gingival recession is a prevalent problem in populations with a high standard of oral hygiene and is often associated with noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs), leading to the need for a combined periodontal-restorative approach for better esthetic and functional results. In the literature, resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) restorations associated with periodontal surgery have been shown to achieve significant root coverage and reduction of dentin sensitivity; however, changes to the color of some of those restorations have been observed, which could compromise esthetics. Therefore, the aim of the present case report is to describe and discuss the current understanding of treatment for a gingival recession associated with an NCCL with a periodontal-restorative approach, and to describe treatment of RMGI color alteration problems two years after treatment.
