Gingival recession is a condition in which the gum line changes its position, revealing the tooth roots. Gingival recessions are single and multiple (more than 2 adjacent teeth) and are often accompanied by increased sensitivity to cold.
The only effective treatment is gingivoplasty (microsurgery):
- ordinary dentistry
- gingivoplasty - covering of the treated tooth root with gingival tissue
- or correction of the gums by means of soft palate tissues.
