MULTIPLE GINGIVAL RECESSION DEFECT- A CLINICAL PROBLEM

Multiple gingival recession defects refer to the presence of recession in multiple areas of the gingiva, exposing the tooth roots and potentially leading to various clinical challenges. This condition can result from factors such as periodontal disease, aggressive tooth brushing, anatomical predispositions, or trauma. Diagnosis involves assessing the extent, severity, and potential causes of recession. Clinical management may include non-surgical interventions, such as oral hygiene education, modification of brushing techniques, and addressing contributing factors. Surgical procedures, such as gum grafts, may be considered to enhance tissue coverage and esthetics. Comprehensive treatment planning and patient compliance are essential for effectively managing multiple gingival recession defects.
