Microneedling with gum flap for recession
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have gum recession on the outer side of an upper front tooth that is at least 2 millimeters deep.

- You are between 20 and 50 years old.
- You have good oral hygiene and are willing to keep it up.

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.
This study tests different approaches to improve gum recession (when gums pull back) using a free gum-tissue graft. It may help people who have a specific pattern of thin, low-attached gum tissue and need grafting on the lower front teeth.
This study tests a surgical technique to cover exposed tooth roots on the inside of your lower front teeth using gum tissue from the roof of your mouth. It may help reduce sensitivity and improve the appearance of receded gums.
This trial compares two different gum grafting methods to treat advanced gum recession in front teeth. It aims to see if adding a special connective tissue wall helps improve root coverage and gum health.
This study compares two techniques (TCAF and MTUN) for treating a single gum recession in the lower front part of the mouth. It will help determine which method works best for healing 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.
