Gum Recession Treatment: Tissue Graft vs. Blood Concentrate
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 years old or older.
- You are generally healthy with no major medical conditions.
- You have gum recession that exposes the root of your tooth (Miller class I or II).
- Your tooth still has a clear cementoenamel junction (the line where the crown meets the root).
- You do not smoke, have no active gum disease, and can keep up with daily brushing and flossing.

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.
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 two different surgical techniques for treating receding gums, using a special gel made from your own blood (PRF) to help healing. It may help if you have gum recession on both sides of your mouth and are in good health.
This trial compares two different gum grafting methods to treat advanced gum recession in front teeth. It aims to see if adding a special connective tissue wall helps improve root coverage and gum health.
This study tests a surgery that uses a patient's own blood cells and a donated skin matrix to cover receding gums. It may help reduce tooth sensitivity and improve gum appearance.
This trial tests whether an injectable healing material called platelet-rich fibrin can help cover exposed tooth root in front teeth with gum recession. If it works, it may reduce tooth sensitivity and improve appearance for people with suitable, healthy teeth and gums.
