Gum graft techniques for treating severe gum recession
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have advanced gum recession (where the gum has pulled away from the tooth) in your upper or lower front teeth, with some bone loss between teeth.
- You have not had any previous root coverage surgery.
- You are able to keep your teeth and gums very clean (less than 25% plaque and bleeding).
- You are generally healthy and not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial compares two types of gum grafts to cover exposed tooth roots. The goal is to see which method works better for treating gum recession.
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.
This study tests a surgical technique to cover exposed tooth roots on the inside of your lower front teeth using gum tissue from the roof of your mouth. It may help reduce sensitivity and improve the appearance of receded gums.
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 studies a “free mucogingival graft,” a surgical gum tissue transplant, to cover exposed root (recession) in a specific area of the lower front teeth. If you have a deep recession in a healthy mouth with low gum bleeding, you may be able to try this approach and help researchers learn how well it works.
This trial compares two ways of taking donor tissue from the roof of the mouth to rebuild gum/soft tissue. It may help people who need a gum tissue graft to improve the health and appearance of the oral area.
