Treatment of Gingival Recessions

Gingival recession is an oral exposure of the root surface due to an apical displacement of the gingival margin below the cemento-enamel junction [1,2]. It is a process which involves both gingival margin and the underlying bone. Thus bone dehiscence should be present for gingival recession to occur. These deficiencies in alveolar bone may be anatomical, pathological, traumatic or iatrogenic [3].
