Comparing two gum grafting techniques for receding gums
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a gum surgery technique that covers exposed tooth roots using a special gum graft (from a donor) and a blood concentrate to help healing. It aims to reduce pain and root sensitivity and improve the look of your gums.
