Gum graft treatment for a single lower front tooth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have overall good health and a deep gum recession affecting a lower incisor (front tooth) root.
- Your dentist records show low plaque and bleeding—both scores are under 20.
- You do not smoke 10 or more cigarettes per day.
- You are not pregnant and are able to avoid pregnancy during the study.
- You are able to have oral (mouth) surgery safely, with no medication or medical conditions that block surgery.

This study tests different approaches to improve gum recession (when gums pull back) using a free gum-tissue graft. It may help people who have a specific pattern of thin, low-attached gum tissue and need grafting on the lower front teeth.
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 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 trial tests a new way to do a gum graft on the lower front teeth. The goal is to cover exposed roots and improve comfort. It's for people with specific types of gum recession and thin gum tissue.
This trial compares two different gum grafting methods to treat advanced gum recession in front teeth. It aims to see if adding a special connective tissue wall helps improve root coverage and gum health.
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.
