Gum Glue vs Stitches for Gum Recession
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares using a medical glue (cyanoacrylate) to stitches for gum grafting surgery to cover exposed tooth roots. It may help people with receding gums who need a connective tissue graft.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial looks at different dental (gum) surgeries to help cover areas where the gum has receded. If you have mild gum recession and good oral care, it may offer options to improve gum health and appearance.
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.
This study compares two surgical techniques to treat receding gums (where gum pulls back from teeth): a lab-made collagen matrix versus a graft taken from your own tissue. Both aim to cover exposed tooth roots, improve appearance, and reduce sensitivity.
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 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 different approaches to improve gum recession (when gums pull back) using a free gum-tissue graft. It may help people who have a specific pattern of thin, low-attached gum tissue and need grafting on the lower front teeth.
