There is always a reason for recession:

• Improper teeth brushing technique. A hard brush and horizontal movements with pressure gradually erase the gum tissue edge.
• Periodontitis. Inflammation destroys the bone tissue under the gum, and it recedes along with it. In this case, recession is a consequence, and not an independent problem.
• Thin biotype of the gum. In some people, the gum is naturally narrow and thin. It is less resistant to mechanical stress and recedes. faster with any irritating factor.
• Teeth position and bite. A tooth displaced towards the lip or cheek is covered with a thinner plate of bone. The gum above it is vulnerable.
• Piercing of the lip or tongue. The jewelry is constantly in contact with one area of the gum and gradually it destroys.
• Orthodontic treatment. With certain tooth movements during braces treatment, recession may increase, especially with initially thin gums.

Recession develops slowly and does not cause pain for a long time. This is why many patients notice it late. Contact a periodontist if you recognize at least one of these signs:

• Teeth have become noticeably longer than before
• The neck is visible tooth or part of the root
• Sensitivity to cold, hot or sweet things has appeared
• In the area of individual teeth, the gingival margin is lower than that of neighboring teeth
• Discomfort when brushing in a certain area

Good news: in the early stages, the recession can be closed completely. The sooner you contact, the easier and better the treatment. result.

The outer part of the tooth is covered with enamel - the hardest tissue of the body. The root is structured differently: it is covered with cement, which is much thinner and less resistant to external influences. When the root is exposed, it begins to react to temperature, accumulates plaque faster and is destroyed. Over time, without intervention, the tooth can be lost - not because caries, but due to loss of support.

The treatment method is selected individually: the doctor takes into account the depth of recession, the width of the attached gum and the general condition of the tissue. During the consultation, he explains why he recommends this approach and what to expect from the result.

Connective tissue graft

The doctor takes a small piece of tissue from the patient's palate and transplants it into the area of the exposed root. The graft takes root, restores the volume of the gum and securely covers the root. This is the most common method with a highly predictable result, which is suitable for most patients with recession. and the volume of the gum is sufficient for movement. Since the work is carried out in only one area, recovery is easier.

Tunnel technique

A modern method in which the doctor creates a small tunnel under the gum and inserts a graft through it without wide incisions. Less trauma means faster healing and minimal traces of intervention. This technique is especially suitable when there are several recessions and they are located. nearby.
