Gum recession repair using tissue flap and graft
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial studies a gum surgery technique to cover multiple areas where the gum has pulled back from the tooth root. It may help improve gum coverage and reduce sensitivity by restoring gum tissue where it is missing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old
- You do not smoke, or you smoke 10 cigarettes per day or less
- Your gums should not be inflamed right now (low bleeding and shallow gum measurements)
- You have at least two teeth with gum recession on the outer (cheek) side on both the left and right sides of the jaw
- The recession sites must be deep enough (at least 2 mm) and have no other non-cavity damage like certain neck-of-tooth lesions
- You have not had prior gum plastic surgery on the affected teeth

This study compares two gum grafting techniques (CAF and TCAF) to see which one works better for treating multiple receding gums in the upper jaw. It may help if you have gum recession and want a treatment to cover the exposed roots.
This study compares two gum grafting techniques to cover exposed tooth roots caused by gum recession. It aims to see which method better restores a natural gum line and reduces sensitivity.
This trial tests a new micro connective tissue graft to cover multiple areas where your gums have pulled away from your teeth (recession). It may help if you have healthy gums but several receding spots on your upper or lower jaw.
This study compares two gum grafting methods (one using a special collagen material plus soft tissue, the other using soft tissue alone) to treat multiple gum recessions on the lower jaw. It may help find a better way to cover exposed roots and improve gum health.
This study tests a surgical technique to cover exposed tooth roots on the inside of your lower front teeth using gum tissue from the roof of your mouth. It may help reduce sensitivity and improve the appearance of receded gums.
This study tests whether using a tiny needle roller (microneedling) combined with a gum-advancement flap can help cover a receding gum on a front tooth, without needing a gum graft. It's for people with thin gums, and the goal is to reduce sensitivity and improve appearance.
