Efficacy of the Modified Free Gingival Graft Technique
Sponsor: Universidad de Especialidades Espiritu Santo
Summary
Gingival recessions can be defined as the exposure of the root surface after an apical migration of the gingival margin in relation to the cemento-enamel junction. Gingival recessions affect both younger and older populations. Various surveys revealed that 88% of people ≥65 years of age and 50% of people between 18 and 64 years of age have ≥1 site with gingival recession. Gingival recessions can occur due to anatomical, pathological factors or trauma and will result in a loss of attachment.
