Gingival Recession

What is it?

Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue surrounding the teeth recedes or wears away, exposing the roots of the teeth. This condition can result in a number of oral health problems, including:

  1. Tooth sensitivity: Exposed tooth roots are more sensitive to temperature changes and certain foods or drinks, causing discomfort and pain.
  2. Aesthetic concerns: Gum recession can make your teeth appear longer, causing an uneven gum line and affecting the overall aesthetics of your smile.
  3. Increased caries risk: With exposed roots, the risk of tooth decay and cavities in these areas is higher.
  4. Gum disease progression: Shrinking gums can make it easier for bacteria to accumulate, increasing the risk of gum disease and its associated complications.

Treatment

At Cunha Coutinho Saúde, we offer advanced treatment options to effectively treat gum recession. Our experienced dental professionals will assess your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach based on your specific needs.

  1. Gum grafting: This procedure involves taking a small amount of gum tissue from another area of the mouth, such as the palate, and grafting it onto the affected area to cover the exposed tooth roots. Gum grafting helps to restore the gum line, protect tooth roots and improve the aesthetics of your smile.
  2. Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST): PST is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat gum recession. Instead of grafting tissue, this technique involves making small incisions in the gum tissue and gently repositioning it to cover the exposed roots. PST offers several advantages, including minimal discomfort, faster healing and immediate aesthetic improvements.
  3. Connective tissue grafting: This procedure is performed by taking a small piece of tissue from the roof of the mouth (palate) or another donor source and placing it over the exposed tooth roots. Connective tissue grafting helps to replenish gum tissue and restore a healthy gum line.
  4. Guided tissue regeneration: This technique is used when gingival recession has resulted in significant bone loss around the affected tooth. Guided tissue regeneration involves the placement of special membranes or regenerative materials to stimulate the growth of new bone and gum tissue, supporting the affected area and promoting healing.
