Gum tissue build-up around lower back teeth implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgical technique to add thickness to the gum tissue around dental implants in the lower jaw. It aims to see if this technique helps keep the bone around the implant healthy and stable over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are missing a single tooth in the premolar or molar area of your lower jaw and plan to get a dental implant.
- Your gum tissue at the implant site is thin (between 1 and 2 mm thick).
- You have at least 2 mm of attached gum on both the cheek and tongue sides of the implant area.
- You have enough bone on the cheek side of the implant site (at least 1.5 mm thick).

This study tests a material made from pig skin (porcine dermis) to see if it can help make the gum tissue thicker and healthier around dental implants. It may be a good option for people who already have an implant in a back tooth area and need more gum tissue.
This trial tests a method using small titanium tacs to hold a gum graft in place instead of stitches. It may help people with thin gum tissue around dental implants have a more comfortable and effective procedure.
This trial compares three techniques to thicken gum tissue around a single dental implant in the back of the lower jaw. It may help if you have thin gums and need a dental implant.
This study compares three types of graft (tissue/covering materials) to help build up thicker gum and soft tissue around a dental implant. It may help improve appearance and protect the implant area when you have thin or missing gum tissue.
This trial compares two ways of adding gum (soft tissue) around a dental implant—using donor gum tissue versus a different graft material. If you have a healthy implant with some gum recession, this study may help find which approach works better for healing and gum coverage.
This study tests a procedure to improve the shape of the gum and bone around a dental implant in people with thin gums. It uses a special graft material to make the area thicker and more stable for a better-looking result.
