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).
- The tooth to be removed and the teeth next to it have no gum or bone loss.
- You either have type 2 diabetes for more than 5 years (with HbA1c between 6.1% and 8.5%) or you do not have diabetes (HbA1c below 6.1%).

This study looks at how the roof of the mouth heals after a small piece is taken for a gum graft, comparing people with diabetes to people without. It aims to see if healing is different and to improve care.
This study looks at how well a small gum graft taken from the roof of your mouth heals and how it feels for you. It aims to understand recovery after this common dental procedure.
This study looks at how well the mouth heals after a gum recession procedure, comparing people with and without diabetes. If you have gum recession, this may help improve healing after treatment.
This study looks at a gum graft procedure using tissue from the roof of your mouth. It measures how the graft shrinks and how the tissue changes, which could help improve future gum treatments.
