Comparing gum grafts for dental implants
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two types of gum grafts to see which works better when placing dental implants. It may help improve gum health and implant success.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to have a narrow band of attached gum (2 mm or less) where the implant will go.
- You must have enough jawbone width (at least 6 mm) for the implant.
- You need to have good oral hygiene and be willing to follow the study's care instructions.
- You must not have active gum disease, infections, or certain medical conditions (like uncontrolled diabetes or taking certain bone-related medications).
- You must not be a heavy smoker (10 or more cigarettes a day) or have habits like teeth grinding.

This trial tests two ways to support the gum around a new dental implant placed right after a tooth is pulled. It compares a special blood-clot material (L-PRF) to a connective tissue graft to see which heals better.
This study looks at two ways to support the gum and bone around a new tooth implant placed right after a tooth is removed. It aims to find out if adding a bone graft helps improve the results compared to using only a gum graft, which may lead to better healing and appearance.
This study compares two surgical techniques to increase the amount of attached gum around dental implants. It aims to find which method gives better results for gum health and comfort, and may help prevent future problems.
This study tests three different ways to rebuild gum and bone around a new dental implant placed right after a tooth is pulled. It may help if you need a front tooth, canine, or premolar removed and have enough bone for the implant.
This trial compares two different times to do a gum graft around a dental implant in the lower back jaw. It aims to find out which timing works better for patients who don't have enough thick gum tissue (less than 2 mm).
This trial studies the best timing for placing a gum (soft tissue) graft after getting an implant right away when a tooth is removed. It may help improve healing and the long-term appearance and stability of the implant.
