Damage to the mouth caused by objects like lip/tongue studs.

A bite where lower incisors hit the upper incisors, causing problems.

Unusual attachment of the frenum (tissue) causing pulling on the gums.

Damage caused by a dental procedure, typically involving recession.

Factors causing inflammation in the gums (like periodontal disease, etc).

The type of gum tissue, with differences in thickness and resilience.

Disease that results in receding gums and damage to the supporting tissues.

The movement of the gum line away from the tooth root.

The movement of the gum line away from the tooth, exposing more of the root.

The reasons why recession occurs, such as toothbrushing, trauma, or inflammation.

Physical forces that contribute to recession, like aggressive brushing or piercings.

Injury to the gums caused by improper brushing technique.

Damage to the gums from objects like jewelry or piercings.

Stopping or preventing further gum recession.

Smokers are more likely to develop periodontal disease.

Improperly fitted dental restorations can irritate gums and lead to plaque buildup from the subgingival margins, encroaching on the gingival width.

Fast orthodontic movements in patients with thin gums can cause gum recession.

Gingival recession leads to potential issues like tooth sensitivity, aesthetics concerns, and a higher risk of cavities because of the exposed root surface.

Exposed dentin from gum recession causes sensitivity to hot, cold, and certain foods due to the lack of enamel.

Gingival recession can create "black triangles" which are unwanted aesthetic problems.

Exposed roots are more susceptible to decay due to their lower mineral content compared to enamel.

Specific pH values affect tooth decay rates, for which enamel requires a different pH value than dentine.

Combines recession and probing depth to measure how much tissue has been lost around a tooth.

It is a combination of recession and probing depth combined.

A system used to categorize the severity of recession based on the location and extent of the gum recession.

Monitor, refer, educate, treat, and identify the cause.

A removable acrylic covering used to improve the appearance of teeth with significant gum recession.

A tooth-colored filling placed to cover exposed dentin, protecting it from sensitivity and decay.

Choosing the right treatment for gingival recession depends on the severity, patient's health, and desired outcome.

Daily habits like aggressive brushing or using a hard toothbrush can contribute to gum recession.

Products used to reduce tooth sensitivity caused by exposed dentin from recession.

A surgical procedure where gum tissue is transplanted to cover a receding gum line.

Advanced procedures addressing gum problems, often involving tissue transplants and multiple steps.

Complex procedures may have lower success rates and patient compliance due to their complexity and recovery requirements.

They can involve transplanting gum tissue from the palate, aiming to restore gums around the tooth.

Regular checking for gum recession and responding appropriately, often involving treatment or referral to a specialist.

Factors like patient compliance, the severity of the problem, and the patient's overall health can affect the outcome.

It can expose tooth roots leading to sensitivity, affect tooth stability, and increase risk of tooth decay.

Gums that are firm, pink, and tightly fit around the teeth, with no visible root.
