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 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 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 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 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 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.
