Can a filler injection treat gum recession and tooth sensitivity?
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a special injectable filler (calcium hydroxylapatite) to see if it can help grow back gums that have receded and reduce tooth sensitivity. It is for people with mild to moderate gum recession who are in good health.

This trial tests a new material to treat gum recession—tiny particles mixed with your own blood components (platelet-rich fibrin) placed as a membrane. The goal is to see if it helps cover exposed roots and improve gum health.
This study tests a biofiller to make thin gums thicker in the lower front teeth area. It may help people with thin gums who want to improve their gum health and 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.
This study tests whether placing a tooth-colored filling in a cavity near the gum line can help cover exposed roots when combined with a common gum graft procedure. It may be an option for people who need both a filling and gum recession surgery.
This trial looks at how well a dentist’s treatment works for a combined gum and tooth infection (“endodontic-periodontal disease”) using calcium filling material, with or without extra biologic material. If you qualify, it may help improve the health of deep gum pockets and support better healing around affected tooth roots.
This study tests a new, non-surgical way to fill in missing gum tissue between teeth using a hyaluronic acid gel. It may be an option for people who have a specific type of gum recession and are in good overall health.
