Abstract
Gingival recession is described as an apical migration of the marginal gingival tissue
towards or beyond the cementoenamel junction. One of the main causes of gingival recession is an
irregular or abnormal tooth position, heredity, excessive tooth brushing, traumatic occlusion and
weak periodontal support. The gingival recession can be minor (localized) or continued
(generalized). Treatment modalities vary according to the type and severity of the recession. This
paper reviews etiology, consequences, and the available surgical procedures for the coverage of exposed root surfaces, including three case reports. In this article, we will present the most wellknown
and easy-to-perform methods for gingival augmentation, with a special accent to the
minimally invasive techniques, as well as a most predictable outcome. However, thus far, evidence
is lacking for new modified techniques which can improve the patient experience undergo microsurgical
treatments, and will provide long-term aesthetic results at the same time.
Keywords: gingival recession, exposed root, root coverage, gingival tissue, gingival
augmentation.
