Collagen matrix for gum health around implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a collagen matrix can help improve the gum tissue around dental implants that have thin or insufficient gum width. It may help patients with narrow gum bands around their implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 21 or older
- Gum width less than 2 mm on the cheek side of at least one implant
- Good oral hygiene with low plaque and bleeding scores (25% or less)
- Willing to attend follow-up visits and sign a consent form
- No smoking
- No untreated gum disease, uncontrolled health conditions, or history of certain cancers or treatments

This trial tests whether a gum tissue graft can help people with dental implants who have too little attached gum tissue around them, causing discomfort or difficulty cleaning. The goal is to see if the graft improves comfort and gum health.
This trial tests whether a special collagen material placed around a new dental implant can help prevent bone loss in the upper front gum area. It is for people needing a single implant in a specific tooth zone and may help keep the bone strong for a better cosmetic result.
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 tests whether adding a soft-tissue gum graft procedure can improve healing and reduce inflammation in moderate to severe peri-implantitis (inflammation and tissue damage around a dental implant). It may help patients by targeting both the gum tissue and the area around the implant that is bleeding or has deep pockets.
This trial tests how well a collagen membrane helps heal the gum and jawbone after an implant is placed. If you need a dental implant and have a small bone gap or thin bone, this study may be a good option.
This trial tests two different ways to improve gum tissue at the same time as placing a dental implant. It may help people who need more gum tissue, especially if they have thin gums.
