Botulinum toxin for gum recession treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests if injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) into the gums can help cover exposed tooth roots caused by gum recession. It may be a new option for people with specific types of recession who are healthy non-smokers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have gum recession (RT1 or RT2 type) on one or more teeth
- You are 18 years or older
- You are generally healthy and have good oral hygiene
- You do not smoke
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have no fillings or wear on the root of the affected tooth

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 compares two types of gum surgery to cover exposed tooth roots when you have multiple adjacent gum recessions. It aims to find which approach works best for root coverage and long-term gum health.
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 a new volume-stable gum graft material to cover exposed tooth roots caused by receding gums. It is for healthy patients seeking treatment for gum recession on front teeth.
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 trial looks at two ways to clean the tooth root before a common gum graft procedure. One method uses a special powder and water spray, the other uses hand tools. The goal is to see if one leads to better gum coverage.
