Summary:In one aspect, described herein are methods for treating gingival recession, or gum recession, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a composition comprising shortened fibers of poly-N-acetylglucosamine or a derivative thereof ("sNAG nanofibers"). In another aspect, described herein are methods for treating a loss of gingiva tissue, a pocket(s) in the gingiva, or a gingival cleft(s); or a combination of any of the foregoing, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a composition comprising sNAG nanofibers. Dans un aspect, l'invention concerne des méthodes de traitement de la récession gingivale, ou de la récession de la gencive, comprenant l'administration à un sujet qui en a besoin d'une composition comprenant des fibres raccourcies de poly-N-acétylglucosamine ou d'un dérivé de celles-ci ("nanofibres de sNAG"). Selon un autre aspect, l'invention concerne des méthodes de traitement d'une perte de tissu gingival, de poche(s) dans la gencive ou de fente(s) gingivale(s); ou une combinaison de l'une quelconque de celles-ci, comprenant l'administration à un sujet qui en a besoin d'une composition comprenant des nanofibres de sNAG.
