Gingival Recession Management

Abstract

Periodontal surgeries usually involve gingival tissue manipulation and sometimes bone remodeling. In order to reduce risk of complications after surgery and support the recovery process, an appropriate postoperative care including a comprehensive planning and proactive measurements must be systematically implemented. Therefore, the aim of this chapter is to provide a concise advice on the care of postsurgical situations aiming to contribute for the successful esthetic and functional periodontal soft tissue reconstruction.
