The article discusses new methods to eliminate gum recession. The use of complex treatment, which includes therapeutic, orthopedic, orthodontic and surgical methods, is discussed. The correct combination of these methods among themselves gives a positive result. Surgical intervention is the closure of the exposed neck of the tooth with connective tissue materials, which may be the displaced gingival flap itself or a free connective tissue graft. The transplant can be used both autogenous and allogeneic. In addition, directional tissue regeneration with a collagen membrane is increasingly being used. Collagen promotes bone formation processes. Along with this, searches are underway for the use of stem cells in the treatment of periodontitis. A lot of research on the use of cell technology in dentistry was carried out by Rubnikovich et al. In order to increase tissue regeneration, they suggest the use of mesenchymal stem cells. Surgical methods are being improved, supplemented by directed tissue regeneration. The use of autologous mesenchymal cells is considered a modern approach in the treatment of recession. Using stem cells in treatment, it is possible to achieve long-term preservation of the result and avoid relapse. Preventive measures after the main treatment make it possible to consolidate the result.
