Treating gum recession with two surgical methods
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for treating multiple areas of receding gums (RT2 type). A small piece of tissue is taken from the roof of your mouth and used to cover the exposed roots. The goal is to see which technique works better and has fewer complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have two or more teeth next to each other with receding gums (classified as RT2).
- You are in good general health.
- You are bothered by the look of your gums or have tooth sensitivity due to the recession.
- Each receding area has at least 1.5 mm of attached gum tissue (called keratinized tissue).
- The border where the tooth crown meets the root (CEJ) can be clearly seen, with a step of 1 mm or less.
- You do not have active gum disease, and your plaque and bleeding scores are low (less than 20%).
- You are not pregnant, nursing, or taking medications that affect gum healing.
- You are a non-smoker.

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 study compares two gum grafting techniques (CAF and TCAF) to see which one works better for treating multiple receding gums in the upper jaw. It may help if you have gum recession and want a treatment to cover the exposed roots.
This study compares two gum grafting methods (one using a special collagen material plus soft tissue, the other using soft tissue alone) to treat multiple gum recessions on the lower jaw. It may help find a better way to cover exposed roots and improve gum health.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to fix a single receding gum. One method uses a small opening and a graft from your own palate; the other uses a different flap approach. It aims to find which works best.
This study compares two surgical approaches to treat multiple areas of receded gums (where gum tissue has pulled back from teeth). Both techniques use grafted tissue to restore gum coverage and protect tooth roots.
This trial compares two surgical techniques (MCAT and VISTA) to fix receding gums on multiple teeth. It tests which method better restores gum thickness and reduces tooth sensitivity or cosmetic concerns.
