Comparing stitches for gum recession surgery
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two different thicknesses of stitches used during gum surgery to fix gum recession. It aims to see if one works better or heals faster, which could help improve your gum health and smile.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in overall good health, with no major illnesses, bleeding problems, or medications that affect your gums. You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial compares two surgical techniques (MCAT and VISTA) to fix receding gums on multiple teeth. It tests which method better restores gum thickness and reduces tooth sensitivity or cosmetic concerns.
This trial looks at two ways to clean the tooth root before a common gum graft procedure. One method uses a special powder and water spray, the other uses hand tools. The goal is to see if one leads to better gum coverage.
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 compares two surgical approaches to treat multiple areas of receded gums (where gum tissue has pulled back from teeth). Both techniques use grafted tissue to restore gum coverage and protect tooth roots.
This study compares two ways of doing gum graft surgery to cover exposed tooth roots and improve gum health. You might benefit if you have receding gums on your lower front teeth and are looking for a treatment to reduce sensitivity and protect your teeth.
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.
