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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have good oral hygiene habits.
- You are not a smoker.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have a medical condition that would interfere with healing or minor surgery, and you are not currently undergoing radiation or chemotherapy.

This trial tests a new way to do a gum graft on the lower front teeth. The goal is to cover exposed roots and improve comfort. It's for people with specific types of gum recession and thin 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 trial tests whether a modified free gum graft works better than the standard free gum graft to treat gum recession on lower front teeth. It may be an option if you have shallow gum tissue and healthy gums.
This study tests different approaches to improve gum recession (when gums pull back) using a free gum-tissue graft. It may help people who have a specific pattern of thin, low-attached gum tissue and need grafting on the lower front teeth.
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.
This trial compares two different gum grafting methods to treat advanced gum recession in front teeth. It aims to see if adding a special connective tissue wall helps improve root coverage and gum health.
