Compare two suture types for gum surgery healing
Part of Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two different types of stitches (suture materials) to see which one works better after gum (periodontal) surgery. It may help by improving comfort and healing in people needing resective periodontal surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult having resective periodontal (gum) surgery
- One of these incision types was done: crestal, vertical, intrasulcular, or submarginal
- You can give written consent to join the study and collect data
- This is not emergency surgery
- You are not pregnant and not breastfeeding
- You are not allergic to the suture materials, and you’re not on healing-affecting medicines or have conditions that affect wound healing

This trial compares two types of dissolvable stitches to close wounds after abdominal (belly) surgery done through open surgery or small incisions. It aims to see which stitch option works better or is safer for healing and recovery.
This study tests whether using a thinner or thicker thread (suture) during gum surgery affects healing and results. It is for people with receding gums who need a gum graft.
This study compares four types of dissolvable stitches used in gum surgery to see which ones cause the least discomfort and irritation. If you have healthy gums and teeth, your feedback about how each stitch material feels could help dentists choose better options for future patients.
This trial tests if a special stitching technique improves healing after gum graft surgery. It may help people with receding gums who are otherwise healthy and don't smoke.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to treat receding gums on the upper teeth. One method uses a small incision under the gum, the other involves moving the gum forward. Both use a graft of connective tissue to cover exposed roots. The goal is to see which works better and is more comfortable.
This study tests if using small titanium tacks to hold a gum graft in place causes less pain than the usual stitches. It might help people who need more attached gum around their teeth.
