Gum rebuilding for missing front teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to rebuild gum tissue where a tooth is missing in the front of the upper jaw. One method uses platelet-rich fibrin (a concentrate from your own blood to help healing), and the other uses a small piece of tissue graft. The goal is to see which approach better restores gum shape and volume.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Be between 18 and 40 years old
- Have a missing upper tooth between the second premolars (front upper teeth area)
- Have a ridge defect (a sunken or uneven area in the gum) at the missing tooth site
- Be generally healthy with good oral health and at least 2 mm of attached gum
- Not be a smoker, not be pregnant, and have no active mouth infection

This study tests two ways to build up gum tissue where a tooth is missing before placing an implant or bridge. It compares using a small piece of your own gum (connective tissue graft) versus a man-made collagen material to see which gives better volume and shape.
This study tests whether bone can be developed at the site of a missing tooth in your smile zone, with or without a temporary tooth bridge. The goal is to improve the site for a future implant or bridge.
This trial compares two techniques to improve the appearance and health of gum tissue around dental implants in your front teeth. One uses a special blood product (PRF), and the other uses a traditional gum graft. The goal is to see which gives better-looking results.
This study tests whether taking a small piece of gum tissue from the roof of the mouth and placing it at a missing tooth site helps build up both the gum and the bone before placing a dental implant. It aims to improve the success and appearance of the implant.
This study tests whether using platelet-rich fibrin (a concentrate from your own blood) with a bone graft helps heal gum disease around a lower back tooth. It may improve the support for the tooth and reduce the need for more invasive treatment.
This study compares two ways to add gum tissue around a dental implant to improve its appearance and health. One method uses a small piece of your own gum tissue, and the other uses a special collagen material.
