title: [Gingival recession: what to do?].
abstract: The qualitative and quantitative character of the marginal gingiva is not the only cause of root exposure, as mechanical factors can favorize and/or aggravate gingival recession. Suggested therapy is dependent on patient motivation and the evolution of the lesions. Even though there are multiple possibilities for the treatment of gingival recession, one must remain prudent when restoring areas of root exposure, as no protocol exists today which can assure constant success.
