| Summary: | Background. The current issues of etiology, classification and methods of treatment of periodontal recessions are covered. Materials and methods. Modern scientific researches published in the Russian scientific electronic library “Elibrary.ru” and the biomedical research engine created by the National Center for Biotechnological Information “PubMed” were studied, analyzed and systematized. Results. Gingival recession may be single or multiple and is apical migration of marginal gingiva towards cementoenamel junction, that leads to root cement exposure. As a result, this pathology causes appearance of aesthetic defect, teeth hypersensitivity, occurrence of carious and non-carious lesions of hard tooth tissues in cirvical coronoral third. More than half of the world’s population has periodontal recessions with varying depths of lesion – from 1 mm and more. Gingival recession can be detected both with oral hygiene low level and in patients with good oral hygiene. Thus, gingival recession, or periodontal recession, is multifactorial pathology depending on anatomical, physiological and pathological features. Most often, recession formation occurs on vestibular teeth surfaces. Conclusions. Knowledge of etiology, classifications and treatment options for periodontal recession in the modern world is necessary for dentist to properly plan treatment and to achieve successful treatment results.
