Gum graft comparison: non-submerged vs. standard technique
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to do a gum graft to increase the width of attached gum in the lower front teeth area. It tests a newer method where the graft is not covered versus the traditional covered method.

This study compares two gum grafting techniques to cover exposed tooth roots caused by gum recession. It aims to see which method better restores a natural gum line and reduces sensitivity.
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.
This study compares two ways of doing gum graft surgery to cover exposed tooth roots and improve gum health. You might benefit if you have receding gums on your lower front teeth and are looking for a treatment to reduce sensitivity and protect your teeth.
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 compares two techniques for treating receding gums on the lower front teeth. Receding gums expose the tooth roots, which can cause sensitivity and look unappealing. The trial will see if a modified gum graft works better than the standard approach, potentially offering a better outcome for patients.
This trial studies a “free mucogingival graft,” a surgical gum tissue transplant, to cover exposed root (recession) in a specific area of the lower front teeth. If you have a deep recession in a healthy mouth with low gum bleeding, you may be able to try this approach and help researchers learn how well it works.
