Receding gums often result in tooth sensitivity and can
lead to decay of the root and persistent inflammation of the gum. New

Face Medicine demonstrates that a novel method using bovine collagen is
able to enhance gum healing. This resulted in thicker margins around the
tooth and, in over half the cases, complete coverage of exposed roots.
