Healing after gum graft surgery: diabetic vs non-diabetic
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the roof of the mouth heals after a small piece is taken for a gum graft. It compares healing in people with type 2 diabetes to healing in people without diabetes. The goal is to see if diabetes affects recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are generally healthy, with good oral hygiene (less than 25% plaque and gum inflammation).
- You need a tooth removed and plan to have ridge preservation (a procedure to keep the bone ready for a future implant).
