Comparing two gum grafts for gum recession
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a modified free gum graft works better than the standard free gum graft to treat gum recession on lower front teeth. It may be an option if you have shallow gum tissue and healthy gums.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are in good general health.

This study uses 3D digital scans to measure gum tissue changes after a gum grafting procedure. It may be helpful for people with receding gums on their lower front teeth.
This study tests a special oral product and skin care along with gum surgery for people with gum recession on a lower front tooth. It looks at whether the product helps the healing process after adding a small piece of gum tissue.
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 compares two techniques (TCAF and MTUN) for treating a single gum recession in the lower front part of the mouth. It will help determine which method works best for healing and appearance.
This study tests a new type of gum graft (a tiny piece of tissue under the gum) to treat deep gum recession on multiple front upper teeth. It may help cover exposed roots and improve gum health.
This trial tests a modified gum grafting technique to treat gum recession on lower front teeth. It may help if you have a small amount of recession and keep your teeth very clean.
