3D printed implant for gummy smile treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new 3D-printed implant to fix a gummy smile by lifting the gum tissue. It's for people with a certain type of bone depression and who are willing to follow care instructions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
