Gum is a portion of periodontal tissue that plays an important role in protecting the surface of the teeth. Its migration beyond the boundaries of the cementum enamel junction, exposing the root of the tooth, is called Gingival Recession (GR) which increases susceptibility to root caries, dentin sensitivity, and aesthetic discomfort.
