This study tests a gum grafting procedure to cover exposed tooth roots caused by receding gums. It aims to see if the width of the attached gum affects how well the graft works. If you have receding gums and are healthy, you might be a candidate.
This study compares two gum grafting techniques (CAF and TCAF) to see which one works better for treating multiple receding gums in the upper jaw. It may help if you have gum recession and want a treatment to cover the exposed roots.
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 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 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.
