Gum cleft during canine tooth movement
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a small gum opening (gingival cleft) forms when a canine tooth is pulled back after premolar removal. It may help understand how gums heal during orthodontic treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have had your first premolars removed (upper, lower, or both).
- You must have all your permanent teeth except for wisdom teeth.
- You cannot have severe crowding of teeth.
- You must not smoke.
- You cannot have gum disease (periodontitis) or poor gum health.
- You should not have any other health condition that affects healing or bone, like diabetes.

This study compares two ways of retracting the canine teeth after premolar removal to see which works faster or better. It may help us improve orthodontic treatment for people who need their upper canines pulled back.
This trial compares two methods for moving your upper canine teeth back after having upper premolars removed, as part of braces treatment. It aims to find which method works better for people with crowded teeth.
This study compares two ways of moving a canine tooth into the space left by a removed premolar. One method uses a small surgical procedure to help the tooth move faster, and the researchers will check if this causes more stress on the tooth root compared to the standard method.
This study tests whether applying vitamin D3 or a special gum massage (corticision) next to the teeth can help move your eye teeth (canines) faster after your upper first premolars are removed for braces. It is for teenagers or young adults who already need that extraction as part of their orthodontic plan.
This study looks at how the appearance of the gums relates to crowding of teeth in children. It will examine kids in different stages of tooth development to see if there is a link.
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.
