New gum graft technique for ridge repair
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, less invasive method to repair the gum ridge where a premolar tooth is missing. It compares the new technique to the standard gum graft procedure, with the goal of improving the area so a future dental implant or bridge can be placed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have a missing premolar tooth (a tooth toward the back of your mouth) in the upper jaw, and the gum ridge where it’s missing needs repair before you can get a replacement tooth.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study.
- You are a non-smoker or smoke fewer than 10 cigarettes per day.
- You have generally healthy gums and good oral hygiene habits.

This trial compares two different gum-flap designs used when placing a dental implant immediately after removing a failing front upper tooth. The goal is to see which approach gives better healing and long-term stability.
This trial compares two ways to fix receding gums (a condition where your gums pull away from your teeth). It tests a newer technique using your own blood products versus a traditional graft to see which works better for moderate gum recession.
This trial tests two ways to support the gum around a new dental implant placed right after a tooth is pulled. It compares a special blood-clot material (L-PRF) to a connective tissue graft to see which heals better.
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.
This study tests a procedure to improve the shape of the gum and bone around a dental implant in people with thin gums. It uses a special graft material to make the area thicker and more stable for a better-looking result.
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.
