Compressive sutures for gum graft surgery outcomes
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests if a special stitching technique improves healing after gum graft surgery. It may help people with receding gums who are otherwise healthy and don't smoke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- No current or past serious health conditions like diabetes or blood disorders
- No medications that affect gums in the last 6 months
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding
- Never smoked or quit at least 10 years ago
- Good oral hygiene with low plaque and bleeding scores
- At least one area of gum recession on the front of a tooth

This trial compares two surgical techniques to treat receding gums on the upper teeth. One method uses a small incision under the gum, the other involves moving the gum forward. Both use a graft of connective tissue to cover exposed roots. The goal is to see which works better and is more comfortable.
This study compares two gum grafting methods (one using a special collagen material plus soft tissue, the other using soft tissue alone) to treat multiple gum recessions on the lower jaw. It may help find a better way to cover exposed roots and improve gum health.
This study tests whether using a thinner or thicker thread (suture) during gum surgery affects healing and results. It is for people with receding gums who need a gum graft.
This study compares using a medical glue (cyanoacrylate) to stitches for gum grafting surgery to cover exposed tooth roots. It may help people with receding gums who need a connective tissue graft.
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 techniques to treat receding gums (where gum pulls back from teeth): a lab-made collagen matrix versus a graft taken from your own tissue. Both aim to cover exposed tooth roots, improve appearance, and reduce sensitivity.
