Botulinum toxin for gum recession
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) into the gums can help cover receding gums and reduce tooth sensitivity. It may be an option for people with mild to moderate gum recession who are healthy and non-smokers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have gum recession on one or more teeth (where the gum pulls away from the tooth).
- You are generally healthy and have good oral hygiene (no major gum disease or bleeding).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are a non-smoker.
- Your teeth do not have fillings or wear at the gum line.

This study tests whether using a tiny needle roller (microneedling) combined with a gum-advancement flap can help cover a receding gum on a front tooth, without needing a gum graft. It's for people with thin gums, and the goal is to reduce sensitivity and improve 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 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 tests a gum surgery technique that covers exposed tooth roots using a special gum graft (from a donor) and a blood concentrate to help healing. It aims to reduce pain and root sensitivity and improve the look of your gums.
This trial is testing two methods for fixing receding gums: using a small piece of tissue from the roof of your mouth (connective tissue graft) versus using a special concentrate of your own blood (injectable platelet-rich fibrin). Both are done through a tiny tunnel under the gum, and the goal is to cover the exposed root and make your gums look and feel healthier.
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.
