New 3D scan method for measuring gum changes after crown lengthening
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive way to measure gum changes after a cosmetic gum reshaping (crown lengthening). It compares a 3D scanning technique to the current best method, to see which gives more accurate results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You need a procedure to reshape your gum line to show more of your tooth for cosmetic reasons.
- Your gums are generally healthy, with less than 20% plaque or bleeding.
- You have at least 2.5 mm of thick, attached gum tissue in the area.
- You do not smoke and are not taking certain medications that affect gums (e.g., phenytoin, cyclosporine, nifedipine).
- If female, you are not pregnant or nursing.

This study compares two surgical approaches to treat multiple areas of receded gums (where gum tissue has pulled back from teeth). Both techniques use grafted tissue to restore gum coverage and protect tooth roots.
This study tests whether a special 3D imaging tool helps protect your gums from pulling back (receding) while straightening your teeth with clear aligners. Gum recession can expose tooth roots and cause sensitivity, so the trial is exploring whether better visualization during treatment planning prevents this problem.
This trial compares two types of gum surgery to cover exposed tooth roots when you have multiple adjacent gum recessions. It aims to find which approach works best for root coverage and long-term gum health.
This trial looks at two ways to clean the tooth root before a common gum graft procedure. One method uses a special powder and water spray, the other uses hand tools. The goal is to see if one leads to better gum coverage.
This study looks at how gum recession (when gums pull back from teeth) affects your quality of life and oral health. Researchers will ask you questions and examine your teeth to understand this connection better.
This trial compares two surgical techniques (MCAT and VISTA) to fix receding gums on multiple teeth. It tests which method better restores gum thickness and reduces tooth sensitivity or cosmetic concerns.
