Learning Content
Gingival recession is a common concern that many patients have particularly following orthodontic treatment. Advances in gingival grafting procedures allow us to achieve predictable outcomes even in areas of severe recession. The aim of this lecture is to introduce the audience to gingival grafting procedures and alternatives to autogenous donor grafts, such as allografts and xenografts.
Learning Aims
Be able to classify gingival recession. - Understand the aetiology behind gingival recession. - Understand risk factors in gingival recession. - Be familiar with the evidence behind mucogingival surgery procedures. - Understand the prognostic factors which determine maximum root coverage.
Learning Objectives
Be able to understand rationale behind root coverage procedures - Understand the healing stages in mucogingival surgery - Be able to understand rationale of pre-orthodontic tissue modification - Understand what factors can lead to progression of gingival recession.
