<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>Symptoms<\/h2><\/h1><\/div>A gingival recession is visible to the naked eye. The affected tooth appears longer and the exposed root surface is yellow compared to the enamel which is white.<\/p>\n
In a lot of cases, teeth affected by recession are asymptomatic. In certain individuals, the root exposure can lead to pain to:<\/p>\n
\n- cold<\/li>\n
- hot<\/li>\n
- touch<\/li>\n
- brushing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
this is what we call dentinal hypersensitivity.<\/p>\n
Certain factors will favor the presence of recessions. For example, certain individuals have a very thin and fragile band of gingiva to start with. For others, the gingiva is quite thick and abundant. Other factors that can favor the development of recessions are: malpositioned teeth, orthodontic tooth movement, muscular attachments and dental restorations.<\/p>\n

For example, a slight recession with an adequate quantity of keratinized tissue, no hypersensitivity or esthetic issues does not necessitate any treatment other than to control the factors that lead to the problem (ie. excessive traumatic brushing).<\/p>\n
THE CLINICAL SITUATIONS REQUIRING TREATMENT (GINGIVAL GRAFTING) ARE :<\/h5>\n\n- When the quantity and quality of keratinized gingiva are inadequate<\/li>\n
- When there is uncontrollable dentinal hypersensitivity<\/li>\n
- When the recession is causing an esthetic problem<\/li>\n
- When the quantity and quality of keratinized gingiva are inadequate prior to orthodontic treatment. This will depend on the quality of the gingiva and on the direction of the tooth movement.<\/li>\n
- When the keratinized gingiva is of poor quality prior to dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers and dental implants)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The name of the technique used is LANAP. This laser treatment consists in disinfecting the periodontal pocket and stimulating the reattachment of the gums to the teeth; thereby encouraging the regeneration of tissues surrounding the teeth. This non-surgical technique is a predictable and rapid treatment (two appointments) to control the gum disease. As opposed to the traditional surgical approach, this treatment reduces gingival recession and dental hypersensitivity that follows therapy.<\/p>\n

Through a small hole made by a needle, PARO IMPLANTO specialists make a little entry point in the gum tissue near the affected zone. Through this opening, they use specially designed instruments to gently loosen the gum tissue and glide it over the receded part of the tooth. Collagen strips are then placed to facilitate the healing.<\/p>\n
Since there is no cutting or stitching, patients can expect minimal post-surgery symptoms.<\/p>\n
