Recession
Gum recession without active periodontal disease — the pathway focuses on protecting and, where appropriate, regenerating the tissue that has been lost.
Infinity Gum Health System™
Someone with recession is different from someone with active periodontal disease, different again from someone with both, from someone whose healing is affected by other factors, or from someone whose teeth are structurally compromised. Treating them all the same way is the problem.
Infinity Gum Health Diagnosis™
Before any treatment is chosen, the Infinity Gum Health System classifies why the problem exists. The pathway follows the diagnosis, not the other way around — five categories, five different clinical starting points.
Gum recession without active periodontal disease — the pathway focuses on protecting and, where appropriate, regenerating the tissue that has been lost.
Active periodontal (gum) disease — the pathway starts with periodontal therapy to bring the disease under control before anything else is considered.
Both recession and active periodontal disease present together — the pathway sequences periodontal control first, then addresses the recession.
Systemic or healing-related factors that affect recovery — the pathway is built around supporting healing before and after any procedure.
Structural compromise where teeth or supporting bone are affected — the pathway considers what can realistically be preserved, rebuilt or replaced.
Where a diagnosis can lead
What is appropriate depends entirely on the diagnosis above and your dentist's assessment.
