When Gingival Recession Strikes: How, Why & What To Do
Educational Objectives
Join Dr. John Kim, a board-certified and leading periodontist, for evidence-based approaches to the diagnosis, etiology, and technique choices for successfully treating gingival recession. Dr. Kim will also highlight several case reviews as well as:
- The etiology and multiple classification systems of gingival recession
- Various treatment options for gingival recession, such as free gingival grafts, connective tissue grafts, and allografts.
- How to identify candidates for a soft tissue grafting procedure
Abstract
Gingival recession is a fairly common clinical condition affecting approximately 1 in 4 adults in the US. While it tends to come on gradually, when left untreated gingival recession may lead to sensitivity, self-consciousness -- and ultimately root exposure, which may result in caries and non-carious cervical lesions. Fortunately, a soft tissue grafting procedure is a highly predictable treatment option for correcting these mucogingival deficiencies around natural teeth.
