Definitions

1. Gingival recession is most commonly known as receding gums.
2. Gingival recession was much more prevalent and also more severe at the buccal than the mesial surfaces of teeth. (Web site)
3. If gingival recession is present, the probability of tooth sensitivity increases, and tooth sensitivity tends to decrease as treatment progresses.

Gum

1. Soft tissue grafts can be used to cover roots or develop gum tissue where absent due to excessive gingival recession.

Root

1. Soft tissue grafts can be used to root or gum to develop related absence due to excessive gingival recession.

Tooth Removal

1. This scenario can lead to an increased incidence of gingival recession after surgical manipulation following tooth removal.

Affected Teeth

1. Control teeth also had significantly less gingival recession than did affected teeth.

Populations

1. In populations with poor oral hygiene supragingival calculus can be extensive and result in gingival recession. (Web site)
2. In these populations, supragingival calculus is associated with the promotion of gingival recession. (Web site)

Tooth

1. Gingival Recession A condition that exists when the gingival margin has receded towards the root from its previous position at the neck of the tooth.

Gingiva

1. Inflammation of the gingiva, bone loss and increased gingival recession may progress slower than with other forms of periodontitis. (Web site)

Teeth

1. The gingival recession has reduced to about 3 mm from 5 mm, the probing was 5 mm and bone has been deposited between the two teeth. (Web site)
2. Misuse of these instruments can easily damage the teeth and gums leading to sensitivity, gingival recession, toothchipping and other serious problems.

Toothpicks

1. Long term, vigorous use of toothpicks will cause abrasion of the teeth and gingival recession.

Tooth Abrasion

1. Tooth abrasion & gingival recession.

Periodontal Disease

1. Exposed tooth roots are usually the result of gingival recession due to periodontal disease.

Root Surfaces

1. Often it is due to a cavity, but there are many other causes such as fractured teeth, bruxism, trauma, and exposed root surfaces due to gingival recession.

Receding Gums

1. Receding gums (gingival recession) refers to a loss of gum tissue resulting in exposure of the roots of the teeth. (Web site)

Gingival Recession

1. Periodontal disease includes gum recession, also called gingival recession, which can result in tooth root decay and tooth loss. (Web site)
2. Thus, when root surfaces of teeth are exposed from gingival recession or periodontal disease, caries can develop more readily. (Web site)
3. Males had significantly more gingival recession, gingival bleeding, subgingival calculus, and more teeth with total calculus than females. (Web site)
