Gingival Recession. Part 2: Treatment Options and When to Intervene Surgically.

This is the second article in a two-part series on gingival recession. The first article covered the aetiology and prevalence of gingival recession, while this article focuses on the factors affecting decision making and the management, including treatment of gingival recession alongside the evidence base. With more than half of the population suffering from gingival recession, the clinician should be aware of the different options and treatment modalities available to manage gingival recession. This will enable them to engage with the patient, giving them the necessary and required information to make a patient-centred decision about the most suitable treatment option that will address their concerns. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The clinician should be aware of the different options and treatment modalities available to manage gingival recession. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
