Gingival Recession Oral and Dental Sciences Miss Felix Aim: To give the student a well-rounded knowledge of the ae8ology, treatment and management of the pa8ent who presents with gingival recession Intended Learning outcomes Explain the mul8ple ae8ological factors in connec8on with gingival recession. Recognise the oral health impact of gingival recession on the dental pa8ent. Iden8fy how recession is measured and monitored. Iden8fy the diEerent treatment modali8es for gingival recession in the dental pa8ent. GDC Learning Outcomes: 1.1.2, 1.1.4, 1.1.8, 1.7.7, 1.10.1, 1.10.2, 1.10.3, 1.10.4, 1.10.6 De>ni?on The displacement of the gingival margin apical to the cemento-enamel junc?on which results in exposure of the root surface. Revision of the healthy gingival ?ssues Refer to Gingival Anatomy Lecture Healthy mouth Clinical appearance: Is the gingival recession localised or generalised? Localised Generalised Recession It is oKen conLned to a single surface of the tooth, typically the labial/buccal aspect Recession alone does not usually jeopardise the periodontal support of the tooth The underlying cause of the recession needs to be considered Causa?ve factors of gingival recession Mechanical Gingival Recession InRammator y Mechanical Factors Mechanical factors Trauma?c Incisor Trauma from Toothbrush trauma rela?onship foreign bodies Abnormal frenal Iatrogenic damage aKachment Toothbrush trauma Prolonged aggressive tooth brushing technique OKen with inappropriate oral hygiene aid Can you think of an example? Bristles of toothbrush are inappropriate, over scrubbing too much pressure being applied. Trauma from foreign bodies Lower lip stud Tongue stud Trauma?c incisal rela?onship The bite is such that the lower incisors impact palatally of the upper incisors Look at the purple circle where are the lower incisors? Abnormal frenal aKachments A marked frenal aXachment can cause an apical pull of the gingival 8ssues Making oral hygiene diYcult therefore leading to a localised periodontal issue and subsequent recession  Power driven scalers to treat periodontal disease , this can cause a risk of recession. Iatrogenic damage A well-recognised risk of successful treatment of periodontal disease Pa8ents should always be warned of the impact of recession when trea8ng periodontal disease InMammatory Factors Ae?ological factors behind recession: InMammatory factors Gingival biotype Periodontal disease Smoking Poor marginal >t of Orthodon?c tooth restora?on movement Gingival Biotype · The gingival 8ssue tends to be delicate and almost translucent in appearance The 8ssue appears friable with a minimal zone of aXached gingiva Compare pictures of the gingival 8ssue type Clinical Considera8ons on the Root Coverage of Gingival Reces sions in Thin or Thick Biotype - PubMed (nih.gov)  Imagine the impact on having diPerent gingival biotype Thick and flat Dense and fibrotic Thin and scalloped Probing can help highlight gingival bio type. This is done by placing probe under gingival margin Say what you see…. and then you can see or not see how much the probe is visible under gingival margin.  Localised Periodontal disease The apical migration of the gingival margin is a well-established sign and symptom of Generalised periodontal disease.

Refer to Periodontal Indices Lecture From the Cement Enamel Junc?on (CEJ) to the gingival margin = Recession Important that the probe is held parallel to the long axis of the tooth and a probe with clear markings is used. Loss of aKachment (LOA) – how is it measured? It is a combina8on of recession and probing depth combined Some8mes described as clinical loss of aXachment (CLOA) or clinical aXachment loss (CAL) Recession is noted in the pa?ent: Inform the Refer pa?ent Iden?fy the Monitor cause Treat as Educate the currently pa?ent needed Measure and record Miller’s Classi>ca?on of Recession  Miller PD Jr. A good_prac88oners_guide_ classiLca8on of 2016.pdf (bsperio.org.uk) marginal 8ssue recession.
