Abstract

Gingival recession is the most common mucogingival problem found in everyday dental clinics. It is characterized by a loss of insertion of the periodontium through displacement of the apical gingival margin in relation to the cementum-enamel junction, exposing the root surface. It has a multifactorial etiology, consisting of a set of predisposing factors, associated with triggering factors, and can be localized or generalized. In addition to compromising patient aesthetics, recessions may predispose the individual to functional problems, dentin hypersensitivity, and root caries. The objective of this study was to analyze and discuss through a literature review which are the factors that can interfere in the techniques of root coverage, in order to avoid and / or minimize and thus obtain a satisfactory result. It can be concluded that smoking patients have an unfavorable prognosis and that smoking also affects the longevity of the treatment, the periodontal biotype also has significance during root coverage, since each periodontium presents a behavior when submitted to surgical manipulation. Another factor of extreme importance is oral hygiene, since the accumulation of plaque is a trigger of recession and a small commitment of treatment.
