Testing a new gum repair technique for receding gums
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to fix receding gums (a condition where your gums pull away from your teeth). It tests a newer technique using your own blood products versus a traditional graft to see which works better for moderate gum recession.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have good oral hygiene (healthy gums, regular brushing and flossing).
- You must not smoke.
- You must have a type of gum recession called Miller Class III (your dentist can tell you if this applies).

This trial is testing two methods for fixing receding gums: using a small piece of tissue from the roof of your mouth (connective tissue graft) versus using a special concentrate of your own blood (injectable platelet-rich fibrin). Both are done through a tiny tunnel under the gum, and the goal is to cover the exposed root and make your gums look and feel healthier.
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 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.
This study compares two gum surgery techniques that use a special blood concentrate (called platelet-rich fibrin) to help cover receding gums. The goal is to see which method works better for hiding exposed roots and improving gum health.
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.
This trial studies a procedure called a free gingival graft to cover exposed (receding) tooth roots and improve comfort and appearance. You might benefit if you have gum recession in the front lower teeth and meet the specific dental and health requirements.
