| Abstract:
|
Aesthetic problems and dentin hypersensitivity are common complaints that are often felt by patients with gingival recession. Treatment of gingival recession in principle aims to overcome the effects caused by the recession. One of the non-surgical treatments for gingival recession is gingival mask creation. The material used to make the gingival mask is the material commonly used as a removable denture acrylic base liner, so that it is easy to shape according to the conditions in the mouth. Another advantage is that the color of the soft liner is slightly transparent, so that when applied to the gingival region that is experiencing recession, the color resembles the original gingival color. Recession treatment using gingival mask can only be performed in Class III and IV Miller recession. Although the gingival mask only covers the recession on the labial / buccal surface, it can minimize stimulation to the tooth nerve, so that both aesthetic complaints and dentin hypersensitivity can be managed simultaneously.
