Comparing gum tissue for dental implants
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have 2 mm or less of attached gum near a missing tooth
- You have enough jawbone width (at least 6 mm) for an implant
- You keep your mouth clean and have good oral hygiene
- You do not have active gum disease, active infection, or serious medical issues like uncontrolled diabetes or radiation therapy
- You do not smoke 10 or more cigarettes per day

This trial tests whether using a small piece of tissue from your own body can improve the gum around dental implants. It might help if you have thin or narrow gum tissue.
This study compares two surgical methods to add a thicker band of attached gum around dental implants. If you have thin or missing gum tissue, this trial may help improve gum health and stability around your implants.
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.
