A Study of Gingival Recession.

Severe Gingival Recession: Gingival Veneer a Method of Camouflage.

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...

Gingival veneer: a novel technique of masking gingival recession.

One of the most distressing aspects of periodontitis is the unesthetic appearance of maxillary and mandibular anteriors. The elongation of the crowns due to root exposure and increased interdental spacing results in unesthetic appearance. Surgical procedures for gingival recession coverage do not have acceptable results in cases of severe gingival recession. So nonsurgical methods like gingival...

Gingival recession around implants: a 1-year longitudinal prospective study.

A longitudinal study was performed, which measured the soft tissue around implants following surgery, to determine if a predictable pattern of soft tissue changes could be identified. This study evaluated 63 implants in 11 patients. Baseline measurements were recorded at stage 2 surgery in 2-stage implant systems, and at stage 1 surgery in the 1-stage system. Subsequent measurements were record...

Gingival Recession: Review and Strategies in Treatment of Recession

One of the most common esthetic concerns associated with the periodontal tissues is gingival recession. Gingival recession is the exposure of root surfaces due to apical migration of the gingival tissue margins; gingival margin migrates apical to the cementoenamel junction. Although it rarely results in tooth loss, marginal tissue recession is associated with thermal and tactile sensitivity, es...
