Definition from Consumers' Research Council of America:
A condition characterized by the abnormal loss of gum tissue due to infection or bone loss.

Example sentence(s):
  • It is important to treat Receded Gums immediately as the gums act as a support structure for the tooth. With enough rececession, teeth will can eventually fall out. HealtySmileForum
  • If your gums have receded, it is sometimes possible to graft tissue to cover a portion of the exposed root surface and to reinforce the fragile, receding gum tissue to protect from further recession. Also common to receded gums is sensitivity that results from the exposed root surface. California Dental Association

נסיגת חניכיים


Definition from Infomed:
נסיגת חניכיים הינו מצב בו שולי החניכיים אינם נמצאים במיקומם המקורי אלא במקום נמוך יותר, כך שחלק מהשורש נחשף.

נסיגת חניכיים יכולה להיגרם במספר מצבים:
1. כתוצאה ממחלת חניכיים כללית, ואז התופעה מלווה בדימום, נפיחות, אודם, כאב (סימני דלקת) .
2. כתוצאה משחיקה מוגברת (לדוגמה מברשת שיניים) של שולי החניכיים.

בדרך כלל נסיגת חניכיים מלווה גם בנסיגת עצם, ולכן חשובה האבחנה המוקדמת ומניעת החמרת המצב.
כאשר ישנה נסיגת חניכיים תיתכן גם רגישות הנובעת מחשיפת השורש.

Example sentence(s):
  • יש לי נסיגת חניכיים. הנסיגה כבר נמצאת בשלב כזה, שהשורשים שלי חשופים. - Infomed
