Comparing two gum graft methods for lower front teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of doing gum graft surgery to cover exposed tooth roots and improve gum health. You might benefit if you have receding gums on your lower front teeth and are looking for a treatment to reduce sensitivity and protect your teeth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 95 years old.
- Your gum disease is not active (your gums are stable and not inflamed).
- You have gum recession on at least one lower front tooth (teeth #22–27).
- You have thin gum tissue or not enough attached gum on the cheek side of your teeth.
- You are a non-smoker or have quit smoking at least 6 months ago.
- You have not had gum grafting surgery in the area before, and you are not currently on antibiotics.

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 trial studies a “free mucogingival graft,” a surgical gum tissue transplant, to cover exposed root (recession) in a specific area of the lower front teeth. If you have a deep recession in a healthy mouth with low gum bleeding, you may be able to try this approach and help researchers learn how well it works.
This study tests a gum surgery technique that covers exposed tooth roots using a special gum graft (from a donor) and a blood concentrate to help healing. It aims to reduce pain and root sensitivity and improve the look of your gums.
This trial studies a procedure called a free gingival graft to cover exposed (receding) tooth roots and improve comfort and appearance. You might benefit if you have gum recession in the front lower teeth and meet the specific dental and health requirements.
This study compares two techniques (TCAF and MTUN) for treating a single gum recession in the lower front part of the mouth. It will help determine which method works best for healing and appearance.
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.
