Surgical Approach for Gingival Recession (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9786208426095)

Gingival recession, characterized by the apical migration of the gingival margin, exposes the tooth root and may result in esthetic concerns, dentinal hypersensitivity, and an increased risk of root caries. Surgical interventions aim to restore the gingival margin, improve tissue thickness, and enhance esthetics and function. Common approaches include connective tissue grafts (CTG), free gingival grafts (FGG), coronally advanced flaps (CAF), lateral pedicle grafts, and the use of allografts or xenografts. Selection of the technique depends on defect characteristics, tissue availability, and patient-specific factors. These procedures provide predictable outcomes for root coverage and long-term stability, promoting optimal oral health and patient satisfaction.
