WHAT IS GINGIVAL RECESSION ?
It is defined as the exposure of the root surface by a shift in the position of the gingiva.
ETIOLOGY:
1. Plaque induced gingivitis
2. Plaque induced periodontitis
3. Age
4.Faulty tooth brushing
5.Tooth malposition
6. Gingival inflammation
7.Trauma from occlusion
TYPES OF RECESSION:
1. Visible.
2. Hidden.
3. Localised.
4. Generalised.
5. Narrow.
6. Shallow.
CLASS 1: Marginal tissue recession not extending to the mucogingival junction.
No loss of interdental bone/ soft tissue.
CLASS 2: Marginal tissue recession extends to or beyond the mucogingival junction.
No loss of interdental bone / soft tissue.
CLASS 3: Marginal tissue recession extends to or beyond the mucogingival junction
Loss of interdental bone /soft tissue is apical to the CEJ, but coronal to the apical extent of marginal tissue recession.
CLASS 4: Marginal tissue recession extends beyond the mucogingival junction .
Loss of interdental bone extends to a level apical to the extent of the marginal tissue recession.
1.The exposed root surface are susceptible to caries.
2.Abrasion /erosion of the cementum leading to sensitivity.
3.Interproximal recession creates oral hygiene problems & results in plaque accumulation.
4. Finally resulting in aesthetically unacceptable teeth.
