Treatment of gum recession by the method of a coronally displaced flap and application of phytoextract

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Owing to the widespread prevalence of gum recession in the morbidity structure of the population, the search for optimal treatment tactics for patients with this pathology is crucial in dentistry.

AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of treatment of patients with gum recession using the coronally displaced flap method and application of a phytoextract.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Overall, 123 patients diagnosed with gum recession were clinically examined. During examination, all patients revealed a defect such as exposed roots in the area of the frontal group of teeth. Moreover, the size of the defect was measured, and the Miller class was determined. Then, complex treatment was performed, including conservative treatment and, if required, surgical intervention, as well as orthopedic treatment.

RESULTS: In the surgical treatment of gum recession, flap operations were performed. On postoperative day 2, to achieve the best healing and regeneration of the gums, a phytoextract was applied. Over a 3-year period after treatment of patients with gum recession, the effectiveness of treatment was monitored, and relapses of the disease were detected. The following complications were identified after treatment of patients diagnosed with gum recession: transition from class I to II to Miller, 15% of cases; class II to III according to Miller, 19.5%; temporomandibular joint diseases during recession, 16.5%; and occlusal deformation during recession, 19.8%. Stabilization in class I recession occurred in 45.0% of patients, class II in 33.4%, and class III in 8.5%.

CONCLUSION: The etiology and pathogenesis of gum recession requires long term treatment and observation and early diagnosis and an integrated approach. Therefore, new treatment methods that will be most effective and can be used in all age groups are required. One of these methods is the method developed by the authors for the treatment of gum recession using a coronally displaced flap and the application of a phytoextract, which has shown high effectiveness in the long term.
