New gum graft with lower jaw dental implant
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to add gum tissue at the same time as placing a dental implant in the lower jaw. It's for people missing a back tooth who have thin gums, so they can get both procedures in one visit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You are missing one or more lower back teeth and have less than 2 mm of gum tissue there.
- You have enough bone in your lower jaw (at least 13–15 mm long and 6 mm wide) to place an implant.
- You are not a current or former smoker.
- You do not have uncontrolled diabetes or take IV bisphosphonates for osteoporosis.

This trial tests whether using a small piece of tissue from your own body can improve the gum around dental implants. It might help if you have thin or narrow gum tissue.
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 two different times to do a gum graft around a dental implant in the lower back jaw. It aims to find out which timing works better for patients who don't have enough thick gum tissue (less than 2 mm).
This trial tests whether a new type of gum graft (Star Matrix) works as well as the standard gum graft (autogenous graft) for increasing gum width on both sides of the lower jaw. It may help patients who need gum augmentation and want a potentially less invasive option.
This study tests different approaches to improve gum recession (when gums pull back) using a free gum-tissue graft. It may help people who have a specific pattern of thin, low-attached gum tissue and need grafting on the lower front teeth.
