Gum tissue grafts using two modified surgical methods
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of taking donor tissue from the roof of the mouth to rebuild gum/soft tissue. It may help people who need a gum tissue graft to improve the health and appearance of the oral area.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (18 years or older).
- You need soft tissue augmentation and will require tissue to be taken from the roof of your mouth (palate).
- You must be generally healthy and able to give informed consent.
- You must not have periodontal (gum) disease.
- Your oral hygiene needs to be good (plaque buildup should be 30% or less).
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and you should not have certain dental conditions that cause mouth pain.

This study tests a gum-repair approach that may help create more durable, firm gum tissue around teeth or dental implants. If your area lacks “keratinized” (firmer, protective) gum tissue, this could improve comfort and stability after dental work.
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 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.
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 different methods of adding soft tissue to help cover exposed or damaged roots in the gums. It may help if you need grafting for more than one area and can follow scheduled follow-up visits.
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.
