- Authors
Finney, Debra S.; Kao, Richard T.
- Abstract
Gingival recession is a common dental problem that escalates with increasing age. From the patient's perspective, this may be associated with intensified symptoms of dentinal hypersensitivity, impaired aesthetics, plaque retention with increased localized inflammation and greater susceptibility to root caries. This article reviews factors that enhance the risk for gingival recession, describes at what stage interceptive treatment should be recommended and expected outcomes.
