Healthy tissue graft around dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a gum tissue graft can help people with dental implants who have too little attached gum tissue around them, causing discomfort or difficulty cleaning. The goal is to see if the graft improves comfort and gum health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have at least two dental implants next to each other on each side of your lower jaw, with less than 2 mm of firm gum tissue on the cheek side.
- Brushing or keeping those implants clean is uncomfortable or hard because the gum tissue there is thin.
- You do not smoke and are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have no uncontrolled medical problems and are not taking medicine that affects gums.

This trial tests whether a collagen matrix can help improve the gum tissue around dental implants that have thin or insufficient gum width. It may help patients with narrow gum bands around their implants.
This trial compares two techniques to improve the appearance and health of gum tissue around dental implants in your front teeth. One uses a special blood product (PRF), and the other uses a traditional gum graft. The goal is to see which gives better-looking results.
This trial tests whether using a small piece of tissue from your own body can improve the gum around dental implants. It might help if you have thin or narrow gum tissue.
This study looks at how gum grafts change shape around dental implants. If you have a dental implant with thin gum tissue on the cheek side, this could help understand how to improve it.
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 trial tests two different ways to improve gum tissue at the same time as placing a dental implant. It may help people who need more gum tissue, especially if they have thin gums.
