Gum graft vs. special membrane for implant gum recession
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special membrane made from animal tissue (xenogenic cortical membrane) works as well as a gum graft (connective tissue graft) to fix gum recession around dental implants. If you have thin gums and an implant with receding gum, this trial may help cover the exposed implant surface.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 50 years old.
- You have gum recession around at least one dental implant (the gum has pulled away from the implant).
- Your gum tissue is thin (not thick and sturdy).
- You do not smoke, and you do not have diabetes or other serious medical conditions that could affect healing.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have not taken bisphosphonate drugs or had chemo/radiation to the head or neck.

This trial tests two different ways to improve gum tissue at the same time as placing a dental implant. It may help people who need more gum tissue, especially if they have thin gums.
This trial tests two ways to support the gum around a new dental implant placed right after a tooth is pulled. It compares a special blood-clot material (L-PRF) to a connective tissue graft to see which heals better.
This trial compares three techniques to thicken gum tissue around a single dental implant in the back of the lower jaw. It may help if you have thin gums and need a dental implant.
This study compares two ways to add gum tissue around a dental implant to improve its appearance and health. One method uses a small piece of your own gum tissue, and the other uses a special collagen material.
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 compares two ways of adding gum (soft tissue) around a dental implant—using donor gum tissue versus a different graft material. If you have a healthy implant with some gum recession, this study may help find which approach works better for healing and gum coverage.
