Does a protein gel thicken gum tissue around implants?
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a protein-based gel (enamel matrix derivative) can make the gum tissue thicker during a second-stage implant procedure. It may help people getting dental implants achieve better healing and gum support.

This study tests whether a special enamel gel can reduce inflammation around dental implants. It might help if your implant has bleeding gums but no deeper infection.
This study compares two ways to make the gum thicker around dental implants: a new method using microneedling with a special gel made from your own blood, versus a standard gum graft. The goal is to improve the appearance and health of the gum tissue.
This study compares two treatments — hyaluronic acid gel and I-PRF (a special liquid made from your own blood) — both combined with microneedling, to see which one better thickens the gum around dental implants. If you have thin gums around your implant, this treatment might help improve the appearance and health of your gum tissue.
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 trial compares two ways to thicken the gum tissue around a new dental implant in the lower back jaw. One method uses a small piece of your own gum tissue, the other uses a collagen material.
This trial is testing a special enamel protein (Emdogain) placed around a new dental implant right after removing a broken lower molar. It aims to see if this helps the implant heal better.
